Handshakes
A few tears
"I'll never forget you."
"You were my favorite teacher. Can I come back and visit you?"
"I wish I had 100 students like you."
"I'll pray for you."
It's the end of another school year - it's over.
It will never be the same.
Tassels turned
Mortarboards thrown in jubilation
It will never be the same.
Tassels turned
Mortarboards thrown in jubilation
Photos endured
Invitations given
Parties enjoyed
For some, the end of a chapter in their book of life.
For those, also, the beginning of a new life's chapter.
The quiet solitude - books counted, cupboards locked, desk cleaned
Computers dimmed
Bare walls
Summers best to colleagues - salutes to the lucky retirees
Smiles and good times remembered
Lights out
Door closed and locked
Deep breath
Walking the long hall - slowly exhale
I've made it.
School's out for the summer!
