A Message For The Seniors

untitled

You know the age old saying, “all good things must come to an end,”

But, what they didn’t tell you is that you’d make lifelong friends.

 

Friends so close they feel like family,

A love deeper than what eyes can see.

 

A family that picked you up when you were down,

Teammates who were there for you, when no one else was around.

 

Playing for something more than yourself, playing for the good of one team.

With all members being synchronized and focused, wanting only one dream.

 

The dream may end in a win or loss, but the memories remain forever,

And you will always have a family on campus, at home or wherever.

 

The end of the road for the seniors, a feeling that can’t be spoken.

But never forget the bond you have with this family, a bond that can never be broken.

 

Long live the Pioneers.
