Graduation Reflection: A Poem
As one chapter closes, another one proposes
Four years came and went
Hopefully, they were wistfully spent
As the final 3 quarters remain, they ideally will be void of pain
A farewell to the good old day’s abate
As the ultimate period of termination awaits
In the time to come, you’ll be taking your last school test, along with all the rest
You’ll be receiving your last report card. Sitting through your last class. Hoping that the time would deliberately pass.
One day, you’ll be standing up in a cap and gown saying goodbye to people you’ve made a million memories with. The people who you watched grow up; who watched you grow up.
With the passage of time, you’ll gradually forget about the memories made
They will all start to fade
Until one day, a former memory will pervade
As nostalgic sentiments compile, you’ll most likely look back and smile
Nonetheless, the ending is comprised of a new expedition with new goals. New experiences. And new requisite ambiguities
Sooner or later, the impending day is ahead
A time of pinnacle progression awaits
As the future lies in wait
Where did the time go?
