Awardee Reflection - Tori Lockwood

 

Farewell, my friends, we've had our fun,

Our trip together, now it's done.

We've laughed and loved, we've danced and played,

These memories, forever made.

 

We explored new lands, and seas so blue,

And tasted flavors, both old and new.

We've seen the sights, we've lived the dream,

Our journey's end, a bittersweet scheme.

 

My new family you've all become,

These bonds we've shared can't be undone

We've lived a life, we've lived a dream,

We've had our fun as one big team.

 

The sun sets on our journey's end,

And as we part, our hearts will blend.

Into the memories we've made, so dear,

And though we'll be far, our bonds will keep us near.

 

So let us cherish every moment we shared,

And hold them close, in our hearts unsaid.

For though we part, our friendship will last,

But these bonds will not be left in the past.
