Today's poem is by a former student of mine who just graduated and is starting a new step in her journey. Congratulations, Sophia! I'm so proud of you!
See You Soon
by Sophia Manubay
It's a bittersweet moment
Leaving the single thing you grew to know.
But also knowing that there is a lot out there past the horizon.
The goodbyes are always hard
No matter where you're leaving from.
It's like the world you once lived in has turned black and white
Like the old photographs your parents showed you when you were a little kid.
These goodbyes aren't always permanent, though.
They are "see you soon's."
One day or another, you'll be able to return.
Return to the black and white world, but discover that it's in color again.
The joy and laughter returns along side it.
These situations create memories that'll stick with us forever
No matter how big or small they are.
Even if you're out living your own life and even if it's just for a moment
You can still return to the place you called home.
Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
