A puzzle together <br />a puzzle apart <br />each piece belongs to my heart <br /> <br />each piece is different <br />each piece is great <br />But now they have to take on the long expected fate <br /> <br />They knew it would come <br />the day was here <br />the day they dreaded at the beginning of the year <br /> <br />The day they would be pulled apart <br />the whole would be broken <br />they knew it from the start <br /> <br />A piece here <br />and a piece there <br />how could life be so unfair <br />When we use to laugh and do dares <br />We always use to think are teachers were unfair <br />But know we are older and have to grow up <br />We no longer have people taking us by the hand <br />And walking on such gentle land<br /><br />leticia starkey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/graduation-7/
