Memories In Highschool

Memories, dear memories, I hold them close,
Treasures from the past fondly disposed,
In photographs, innocent faces smile,
I cherish each name, remembered for a while.

Teachers, mentors, strict yet kind,
Imparting knowledge, shaping young minds,
With endless patience, they guided our way,
Through confusion, they helped us find our say.

Young love's crush, a soaring feeling,
Her presence lit my days, joy revealing,
Her sight ignited my soul's cheer,
But alas, my love, she didn't appear.

Teases and whispers reached her ear,
Revealing my secret, my heart's sincere,
A snub, a heartache, my love returned,
Falling grades, my emotions churned.

Graduation day, a bittersweet farewell,
My school molded me, a story to tell,
A thousand thanks, though not enough to say,
To those who helped me grow, each day
