The Day Has Come Poem by SarahLaney Long

It's almost time for our time together to end.
But I wanted to let you, and so many others know, you have been such a great friend.
In a few days from now.
We will cross that stage and part from this town. Wow!
Some will cry.
Some will sigh.
Some will laugh and just smile.

But when we look in each other's eyes we can all see the truth.
And that is we will all miss each other too.
It's so crazy to think that next year I won't see any of you in my class.
It's crazy to think that we will never need another bathroom pass.

It's unbelievable that this day will end some people's 6 or even 12 year friendships.
But here are a few reminders and tips.
Don't ever try to be someone that your not.
You'll end up being as lonely as a rock.
Don't cry too much today, because there is still summer.
But after that then you can, because I will miss you my friend and that will be a bummer.

The time has come to accomplish your number one dream.
When we all become united in one big team.
As we walk single file
Down the aisle.
We all think the same way
Don't trip and fall, smile, and today is the day.
When we all will get our diploma, and the Class of 2006 will graduate.
Hooray that's so great, We finally did it!
