Farewell Fifth Grade

We leave the fifth grade reunion, go to another school
to a place that's much calmer

No more tag or hide and seek or 
gathering in a circle to play Duck Duck Goose.

No more random stories,
from rolling the story cubes.

No more hanging out together as friends. 
After all the years of being with each other,
we are forced to be separated, never to be seen again.

Just me. Disappointed me.

My life becomes shattered broken glass.
It's like a knife cut through my heart.

Missing my friends throughout the summer,
was difficult,
it was like a challenge to overcome,
after the last day of school.

It was so hard to say goodbye to our school
and our loving friends.

It was heartbreaking to say,
farewell fifth grade,
farewell elementary school.
