Leaving Poem by Samantha Williams

Now the time has come
To finish what we have begun.
We will pack up all our stuff,
And it will be rough.
We will laugh and cry
And not know why.
We will say goodbye
And let out a sigh.
The tears will be pouring down
And everyone will hold a frown.
The time is drawing near
And I wipe away a tear.
I always said, 'I want to grow up.'
But I think I messed that one up.
Now all I want is to stay.
Will I ever come back? I may.
As I turn from what I've always known,
I let out a small moan.
I now know what they meant by, 'Cherish friends.'
They might not always be there in the end.
