New Beginnings
Caps in the air, the sky's the limit,
Boundless dreams start to spin it.
Books close gently, adventures await,
Steps toward the future, none hesitate.
Laughter echoes, a joyous sound,
In friendship's glow, we're tightly bound.
Eighth grade done, proud moments won,
Under a setting sun, our lives begun.
Paths diverge, yet hearts stay near,
New chapters beckon, crystal clear.
Growth sprouts from every learned line,
Ahead, the stars for us align.
Cheers to us, as we explore,
With courage, we open every door.
This journey’s end is but a seam,
For today's goodbye sparks tomorrow’s dream.
