Goodbye Poem For Schoolmates

As we walk down this lonely forest road, we see two new paths to take And suddenly it is clear, the choice we have to make Although we’ve walked this road a while, some of us depart To go down a brand new road leaving the well worn road that has been printed into your heart And yes, we’ll surely miss you, but you’ll have adventures, just wait and see And as you take the new road, I hope that you’ll miss me But just remember the times we wearied, and needed someone to lean on And when the lonely path seemed too dismal and all hope seemed just gone And when our hearts sang with joy, or simmered with hidden fury Or when the longest dark night tread seemed to be in no hurry Our friends were always there to support, in the good times and the bad And when you tripped and fell, We were there to hold you up, and comfort when you were sad So even though this brand new journey together ends in this fork in the road, right here For the thought that you’re forgotten, you never have to fear For the memories we’ve made along the way, just let them fill your mind You’ll never be alone, true friends you’ll always find I’ll miss you, but surely as the eagle flies I’ll see you again on the lonely path that winds beneath the sky -Skylar Remble (This poem is in honor of Robert Frost's "A Road Not Taken" My poem is about a road that is taken)
