Class of 2015: A Poem

Take a moment

Look to your left
Look to your right
Some of these faces
You've known since kindergarten
Some of these faces
You'll never see again
But as we all sit
Side by side

Take a moment

We've spent these years
In a hurry
A hurry to grow up
Busy wishing and dreaming
For the start of our lives
Bus as we all sit
The class of 2015
Palms are clenching seats
Hearts are pounding
And thoughts are scattered
We can't hear ourselves think
Trying to catch our breath
In this bittersweet wind

We must take a moment

For ourselves
Before we walk across the stage
To live in this moment
We made it!
