This is a poem im writing for my choir instructor. Im a sophmore this year and ive really been looking forward to working with him. I got to this year and now i have to move so im givin it to him. tell me what you think! I’ve spent my whole life Building up to this year. Entering this School Was always a fear. I thought I wont make it So why even try For musicals and highlights I thought I would die. Every year I got kissed By some pretty girl Every year I saw plays That were out of this world I wanted to be them Up there on the stage But sitting in the Audience Was like being in a cage. This year I took chances But it turned out for the best I got some cool parts I wore that red vest. I made tons of friends Kids I’d looked up to for years. When the plays were over I saw them shed tears. I tried to understand Why some were weeping This was their last year And they’d soon be leaving. I felt really sad But I knew I’d be here. I thought that I’d have At least one more year. When I learned I was leaving I was filled with strife This last year had been The best time of my life. From the National Anthem To “Love a Piano” I went to new places I never thought I would go. Exchanging gifts on the bus This is his and that’s hers. All the way from “The Nerd” Down to “Amateurs” Its been so much fun. So exciting, So new. So I thought I’d just tell’ya IM GOING TO MISS YOU!!! True happiness is found after you think you have irretrievably lost it |

Hey John, I'm sorry if i'm late in replying to this post, but if i'm not, i'd like to say go ahead and give this to your choir instructor, if you haven't already. This is a very good poem, and i feel like it really expresses what you want to say, and sometimes giving a poem you have written is easier than trying to say it to them, face to face. Also, like mgoodman said, i would also like to see more of your posts, i really enjoyed this one, i'm not sure if i have read others by you, but i'm hoping to see more! I hope you like the new place where you are moving, and i'm sure we'll see more of you in the future, here on pip  @-->--- |

Welcome to Pip.  I sure hope you gave this to your teacher, it's wonderful and something I'm sure that teacher would love to have. *please check your email for a special greeting (and sorry it took me so long to get in here and say hi) |
