Moving On

By Heide Hoffarth

Our time has come, a time to move on;
A time to reflect on the past and look to the future.
As we leave this place, may we be filled with a sense of His grace,
As we embark on this new journey in our lives.
When we think about the past, we laugh and cry,
But now we have to leave, and I don't know why.
We will leave our mark on the world,
As doctors, painters, and businessmen.
And as we think about the latter, we think about when
We will see eachother again
Face to face, after we have left our mark
And come to realize that the real world
Isn't all we thought it would be,
But that we have the strength in and of our
God to help us see that we did the best
That we could- thank you Class of 2003.
