The Last Summer

The Last Summer This is the last summer with all of us together; next summer we’ll all be somewhere else and hopefully we’ll see each other again someday. We walked down the forest trail we all wished each other farewell. Looking around I could see that we were all happy to be with each other one last time. Now, we’re all in college gaining more knowledge so, so, so far away from each other. Oh how I wish it was still summer! In my mind, I can still see all of us running happily we were so young back then. Sometimes I dream that when graduation comes and we go on to the real world, we’ll all meet together again. Counting the summers away I wonder if we will someday go back to that forest trail where we all wished each other farewell. And everyday I look back to our last summer; laughing and crying at our fun times Graduation has arrived at last! many summers have passed since we first left on that summer day and now it is the month of May. I haven’t seen any of the others it has already been eighty-seven summers! I decide to go back to that forest trail When I arrive, tears stream down my face. For there are my friends all standing there and they too are crying. So again we walk down the forest trail, even though we’re old and frail and I realize this is our final tale.
