Memories of a Chalk

Silhouettes fade as summer draws near Yearning for their presence in this barren room Rippling sounds of one's laughter cause me to tear Awakens this reverie like scent perfume The vastness I never thought existed Past the hallways where we've spent our youth Smiles of the little ones thus recollected Pictures from the bulletins show love and truth Just as my heart, the red apple sits quietly Treasuring the bond of our love so pure The hugs, fights, celebration and anxieties Carves the path to grow and mature Oh darlings, it pains me to say goodbye So please keep this chalk to remember me by.
