Wandering Butterfly Poet Villanelle

Valedictorian

May all our dreams forever stay
Sparkling in our minds
We won’t lose sight of what we want today

Our school work is finished, we’ve written our last essay
Perfected, is how we are defined
May all our dreams forever stay

Today, we stand as one, beating all cliché
A clique like us, impossible to confine
We won’t lose sight of what we want today

When bewildered, we are not, afraid to kneel and pray
Even in our youth, sometimes we must unwind
May all our dreams forever stay

Although we know not, what awaits us at bay
Keep parading forward, ‘cause now there’s no rewind
We won’t lose sight of what we want today

We did it guys! Look at us in our array
Success ahead and behind
All our dreams will forever stay,
We won’t lose sight of what we want today!
