Into Your Bright Future

Look back now it is clear,
Everything is different,
Or so it seems.
Rarely does anything stay the same.

Growing up,
Young to old.
Becoming more knowledgeable,
More mature.
We all seem to have changed,
In many ways.

We are now on the brink of graduation,
A new stepping stone in the garden of life,
One that springs to life with each new season.

We have the opportunity to look back on our younger years,
Back when we were all innocent and naïve.
It is not something we would change for the world.

The good and the bad times,
All mesh together into great memories.
Ones that we will hold dear forever and ever,
Never letting go,
Just gripping tight.

School may have dragged on forever,
And nothing seemed to have changed,
With each passing day,
But throw them all together,
In a large bowl of thoughts,
And there is a drastic transformation,
One that you wouldn’t notice at a skim of the surface.

We have all grown as people,
Into something safe enough to be let out into society,
Without fear.

Soon we will make our own decisions,
Be living out on our own,
We were given the skills to do so,
Or at least that is what we were told.

Look deep inside everything you have learned,
There holds the key to opportunity,
The password to succeeding and continuing,
Into your bright future.
