Green.
     These days will be no more than memories.
               Like the green sprout from last spring’s blossoming. We        tug and pull the vines of time,
               one last chance, before summertime.

Green.
     Oh the days, we so desperately count
               until the time we can finally get out. But when will we see      the lush fields again,
               of our fruitful youth, our green roots maintain.

Green.
     The day is coming near, until the green subsides. Soon we will                  be gone, and be our own guides.
     Gone but not forgotten, our green days are coming to an end,                    but we will be back, after winter or fall, my green friend.
                                                                                        Green.
                                                    It is the beginning and the end.
                                                             The vines cling on to us,                                                 the sun that shines down upon us,                                                 the wind that whispers out to us.                                                               We are hope, we are                                                         Green.


The author's comments:

Senior year is a bitter sweet feeling for many of us. We are leaving our roots behind, but these roots will always be a part of us. The color green represents hope, a same hope for the future after graduation. And no matter where we go or what we may do, we will always be green, one with our roots.
