You can fly like a swallow over the sea,
like a gull or a flock of geese.
You can soar in the sky like a raven,
like a heron or a hunting eagle.

You can flow softly like a river,
move swiftly like the wind.
You can calmly sit and wait,
like an old wise tree.

You are a secret like the night.
Bright like the day.

Everything about us is different,
but, together we are the universe;
Endless.......

I want to dedicate this piece to the lovely class I have just spent four years of my precious life with. I want to thank them for all the beautiful times I have had with everyone of them. "This is for your journey. Thank you!"

not for my graduating senior class, my 8th grade. The last stanza is also my favorite I have to admit!!

It is hard to tell how old people are, and we can't say. I am always very curious!!!

Is this for your graduating senior class? It's full of emotion portrayed by nature, which is always lovely in poetry in my mind. I especially like the last stanza.

That is so touching that you dedicated it to your class! I can see what you mean about going your own seperate ways, yet still staying in touch.
