Time To Shine

Your first day of school, scared half to death;
You see kids who act cool, you can't take a breath.
All the kids give you looks as you pass them by;
You go through the years and keep wondering why.
Making new friends you will never forget;
Mistakes are made, and there are some regrets.
Cruising through school, then you hit senior year;
You stop and think, you are finally here.
It comes so quickly, and it goes by so fast;
You're not ready to leave, you just want it to last.
All memories that were made, are here to stay;
All things that were spoken, never fade away.
Last week of school and finals are done;
Preparing for graduation, seems like such fun.
Senior trip is over, we have said our goodbyes;
Promising to keep in touch, while drying our eyes.
We saw it coming, it was all just fate;
Now we're going to graduate.
So grab your caps and gowns, Class of 2009.
Time to face the real world, it's our turn to shine.
