Summer is dawning
The end is imminent
Your future hangs in the balance
The fall of a tall building across
A mosaic background
You say farewell to graduates
And prepare your final goodbye
The bay wind carries
Bittersweet memories,
a tremor of hope resounds
“What will you do next?”
The loaded question
on everyone’s lips
Some carry their dreams like books
In their backpack
You mumble and shrug
Sharpen your pencil and
Uncap your pen, fill your
Scantron and wait
Soon your time here will wane,
The laughter in the halls will silence
Time to confront reality
The end is imminent
Your future hangs in the balance
The fall of a tall building across
A mosaic background
You say farewell to graduates
And prepare your final goodbye
The bay wind carries
Bittersweet memories,
a tremor of hope resounds
“What will you do next?”
The loaded question
on everyone’s lips
Some carry their dreams like books
In their backpack
You mumble and shrug
Sharpen your pencil and
Uncap your pen, fill your
Scantron and wait
Soon your time here will wane,
The laughter in the halls will silence
