Analysis of Farewell Seniors: A Poem to the DCHS 2014 Seniors

Juliette Aurora 1997 (USA)



Farewell seniors, your time is here;
High school's end is slowly drawing near;
Life is about to begin;
Welcome it with a pleasant grin;
Enjoy these next few days with your peers.

Farewell seniors, don't you cry;
I know that this time has flown by;
Savor these last hours;
They'll be sweet, not sour;
You'll wish this year didn't have to die.

Farewell seniors, your journeys are nowhere near ending;
These lives of yours have just created a setting;
Life is what you make it;
It'll be gone in a bit;
This is only the beginning.
