Graduation Poem
---------------

It feels as if it was just yesterday , 
when i had first started school,
the thought of leaving this place ,  
sure does makes me feel blue,

So the time has come,
and we`ve finally got to leave,
the once awaited time has arrived,
but our disaproval to leave ; is something we cant believe.

We`ll miss our teachers,
for all the time they`ve spent on us,
they`ve moulded us into firm solid figures,
from unevenly spread dust

WE`ll also miss our friends,
those who we were with ever day,
they were with us in our pain & pleasures,
makes me sorry t see things end this way.

I`ll miss you guys ,
for ya`ll meant a lot to me,
wish this wasnt the way,
the way fate would turn to be.

When we part this year,
we wont be coming back,
we`ll be heading off to achieve our various goals,
we`ll be heading off in various vast tracks.

Before i leave this wonderful,memory filled place ,
theres one thing i should do,
and thats to tell all my friends and teachers , 
that i`ll miss each and every one of you.

Changes cant be prevented,
thats the irony of fate,
but it can be manipulated to our benefit,
hope to keep in touch with you...always.
