Class of 2013
By Brandon Bennett
Four years
have come and gone
we never thought
it’d take so long.

But as I stand here
on this stage;
the flashbacks start
of long lost days.

I remember the times
that brought me
I remember the times
as a 9th grade boy.

The times that made
us laugh and cry;
and how we made
our teachers sigh.

Times of pain
and sorrows woe;
we all were pushed
yet would not let go.

But then we grew up
now we’re grown
all flaws of the world
are finally shown.

Now it’s time to provide
living in this system
of things until it gives up
or we do.

We learned to grow
to love, to live
we learned to care
to laugh and forgive.

These were the
good ole days
where I daze
off sometimes.

The good ole days
weren't meant to last
because life goes on
without the past.

When the world
was just a happy face
evil put into its place.

So many times
we were struck with fear;
but now you see were standing here.

And now we've made it
life is great
but still ah
the good ole days.

A place where I
sometimes long to belong
a place that I once heard
in a beautiful song.

Tears of joy
fall to the ground
laughter and love
is all around.

So now we leave
the world our own;
we start out now
to seek our throne.

Different paths
all lead which way
but where we’ll end
none can say.

You hold your future
in the palms of your hands;
mold it and make it
into all that you can.

I am almost done
with this little rhyme
all I have left is this one last line.

This is your year
Follow your dreams
We are the class of 2013!!!
