Poetry Dedication

I wrote these poems a few years ago. The first one I wrote in 2007. The second one I wrote in 2012, five years later.They are dedicated to the JCHS class of 2007. (I think this can be applied to everyone though)

I feel like the second poem still rings true even today. We have grown up. Some of us have started families. Some of us have careers. Some of us have moved. Whatever the case we are no longer kids. We are adults.Time flies. Yet it seems like not too long ago we were just graduating.

Read on and let me know what you think!


Dedicated to the class of 2007

Well ,my fellow classmates (And other graduates of 2007),

another year has passed

we are growing up

no longer our mommy’s baby

It really is

so hard to say goodbye

to yesterday

because

time is

going by so fast

soon

we’ll be the ones leading

soon

we’ll be what our

parents and

teachers and

mentors

are now

We must

cherish today

remember yesterday

and

hope to see tomorrow

remember he who is afraid of failure is also afraid of success

Dedicated to the class of 2007: Part Two

Well, my fellow classmates

Five years have passed

Since we last crossed the stage

It seems like yesterday

But now

Some of us are married

Some of us have started a family

Some of us have graduated

Some of us are starting our careers

And some of us are still trying to find out niche in life

Whatever the case

We are still here

And this is God’s way of showing His love for us

Although we have made some progress

Let us not stop now

We must cherish the present

Remember our dreams

And continue to place our hope in God

Remember he who is afraid of failure is also afraid of success

(RIP to our classmates who are no longer with us. You are truly missed)
