‘Together’ – a tribute to the final years of high school
by Lucy Piper
Winner secondary school poetry prize.
Looking around the room
These faces, I have known
We have laughed, we have wept
Together.
The calendar on the wall, like a big ticking clock
Counting down, second by second
Until we will abandon this place
Together.
And we are we to go?
We are each to our own
But we will carry each other
In our hearts, in our thoughts
Always together.
This place where we dwell
A home among the homes
Brothers amongst sisters,
Friendships amongst friendships.
It will always be, our special bond
Our time together
Together.
