Can’t believe another month has come and gone.

As the tide ebbs and flows, so the seasons comes and goes.

 

Our season began in the Autumn Term of 2019

A new school for you, a new job for me

7H –that first “hello” which has quickly turned into a last “goodbye”

Never thought that time would so swiftly fly

 

Like the sands of time trickling through an hourglass

The years have morphed and have quickly passed

Memories, like balloons released into the sky

Recalling times and seasons of terms gone by

 

Watching you grow from year to year

Not going to lie; sometimes all I could do was grin and bear…

Being a ‘form mum’ is not easy, you see

Neither is being a form tutor with all its responsibility

 

Christmas hamper fails, sports day efforts, tears and fears,

Worn on your faces and on your shoulders were all the cares

Joys and triumphs - the calloused hands from the tug-of-war

To the checking of uniforms and if time would allow to share; so much more

But fly, time did, and the memories coalesce

Some recollections have faded, some still fresh

Never thought that I would see you leave to take your place

Somewhere else and leave behind an empty space

An empty space not only in 2.15, but also in my heart

But this is the right time for you and I, to part

Just as wood matures due to its preparation

It is now time for our separation

 Separation from the school that has shaped and moulded you,

Leaving behind a myriad of memories; not just a few

Going forward to forge new beginnings

Striding towards and stretching for the prize worth having

 

This is YOUR time, this is YOUR season

Let me remind you of the reason

Summer is the time when the flowers are in full bloom

So, for you, life is about to make room

 

For you to take your place, your place on the wider stage,

This chapter has been written, you are now turning the page,

Therefore, as only you can, write your next chapter well

Taking with you the lessons, laughter and memories; in each heart to dwell

 

So, be brave, lift your head to the sky, take wing and fly

Our season has ended, and now it is time to say goodbye.

Until next time.

Love & Blessings
