Dear 2017,

I remember the time I first met you,

When Mom brought you as a calendar new,

As the clock struck twelve and the world said hooray,

You came by and just said Hey.

Day turned night and night turned day,

You watched over me everyday,

Many lessons you did teach,

For the stars you helped me reach.

And I cannot express enough gratitude,

For the experiences and people brought by you,

For helping find the part of me I never knew,

For the new paths of life I did view.

Here we have reached the final day,

To move on to a new way,

So let’s just say hooray,

For in my heart you’ll forever stay.

Goodbye, Old Friend.
