Bittersweet the passing, Of times, true and dear, Of moments everlasting, And those so close, so near. The last opening bell, The last mark of the grade. The last time before them, The mark on your heart they made. Time for parting always comes. Time passes, you will too. Left behind the everlasting, A capsule […]
