Farewell Poem
15 years & 10 days ago
21st Nov 2009 01:21 (by: me! ^.^)
How time flies past,
I'm about to graduate,
bidding farewell to my beloved friends,
as well as to my teachers so great.
I was always looking forward towards this day,
when I could throw my hat up,
but now how I dread,
the day when we go our own ways.
I can still recall,
when I first stepped into the school,
no one I knew,
feeling ultra blue.
Gradually, friends I made,
the unbroken friendships still stand till this date.
My friends who stood by me so many years,
are about to leave,
my broken heart can't be pleased.
Throughout the years,
many teachers came,
they taught, they scolded,
they even played games (with us)!
I'm in debt to so many of them,
who they had shared their knowledge with me numerous times,
now I can only wish that I would do well,
and make the teachers proud.
One by one, the years fly by,
like how the sun rises from the east,
and sets in the west in the sky.
And now, it is finally the time,
to follow our own dreams,
to say goodbye.
I'll never forget the times,
when I was in the hall,
playing either frisbee or Captain's Ball.
Also the times when I was out of school,
going sightseeing with friends,
learning something new.
The handshakes we shared,
the tears we cried,
the laughs and jokes will always be in my mind.
Up till now,
I want to say sorry,
to the friends that I had hurt,
because of my folly.
I want to thank those who made my day,
making me laugh and giggle for so many days.
To these friends, I want to thank,
for also helping me out before the exams.
I will surely miss everyone around,
from my friends to the teachers,
even though I'm not leaving town.
The yummy food in the canteen,
to the classrooms that once held my dreams,
and maybe even the toilets (!
,
that are actually so not clean!
The last day of school arrives,
everyone's fanatic,
passing autograph books here,
hugging there,
it is so chaotic!
Some of us,
crying out their hearts,
wishing that school is still not out.
Me?
I'm sitting at a corner,
not sure of what to do,
I couldn't cry cause no tears would form,
or laugh cause everyone's so blue.
At last, the clock strikes 1,
finally I realised,
the water is dripping down my cheeks,
the sadness starting to show.
No, I couldn't cry yet,
not until it's over!
Quickly, I hugged my buddies one last time,
promising them that was not the last time.
And now, as I throw my hat up,
my past experiences too,
getting ready to start anew.
But even though we must part,
the fond memories will always stay close to my heart. ???
