The End of the School Year!

As the end of our school year approaches, I think about school...as much as I'm excited for the summer, I'll kind of miss school in a weird way. So, I wrote a poem! :)

The End of the Year

Oh, how the time goes by

Like a bird, racing through the sky

A year of learning, of new friends,

A year that suddenly has seemed to come to an end

Our oldest leave us,

Our youngest prepare

 

This is the turning point

Growing, changing

Leaving behind our childhood

Embracing adulthood

Making choices

Deciding what our lives are going to be

Some are leaving

Some are only starting

Learning, developing, exploring, being ourselves

Being a little wild, crazy, weird

The year has ended

But there are some things we will always remember

Our youngest

Their innocence, their excitement, discovering new things

Our 7th graders, growing, changing

Our oldest, teaching, setting examples,

And we anticipate our summer break

With excitement and joy

We are eager for the sun to claim our bodies,

To go swimming and travel and play

With nothing in particular to do all day

But deep in our hearts we will always miss this year

An unforgettable time

Learning

Connecting

Laughing

Just having fun

Cherish this time, think back on it

Because time goes by

Like a bird racing through the sky
