To reflect upon one’s life
Is not an easy task
For many things may happen
With many questions asked.
As we achieve so very much
We think about the past
And ask ourselves if the memories
Fresh in our minds will last.
For as we approach the end
Of a chapter in our lives
We must always hope
The spirit in our hearts survives.
It is up to us now
I hear the teachers’ say
It is time to get serious
About work and study, not play.
Yet what they do not realise
Is that the child within our hearts
Is the drum that keeps us going
Allows us to play our parts.
The spirit of survival
That lies within us all
Is like a judge and a jury
That allows us to rise and fall.

So don’t let us get off track
And help us on our way
For as the end approaches
Hold my hand and pray
And tell me that forever
Friends we will always stay.
For we don’t want to say goodbye
And become one of many
We don’t want to play our part
Or make a new fresh start.
We just want to stay
The way we’ve always been
The heart, the soul, the spirit
