My friends all came and said goodbye <br />To College off we go. <br />Hugs and kisses all around <br />From everyone I know. <br /> <br />Tonight I saw my family- <br />(Enjoyed my last good meal) . <br />Tomorrow -cafeteria <br />With meal plans I must deal. <br /> <br />I spend my last night in my room <br />(Allow myself a tear) <br />How will my pandas get along <br />And thrive without me near. <br /> <br />My books, my things, my DVD’s <br />so much to leave behind. <br />But pack mule Daddy must insist <br />I travel light this time <br /> <br />Childhoods end, not Journey’s end <br />One more look back for me <br />Then off to make my future <br />at the University.<br /><br />John F.
