To my dearest friends at Park Christian

Do you remember when I was there?

I remember it like it was just yesterday

I remember playing hot lava

On the playground at recess

Choking down the terrible hot lunch food

And filching each other's snacks

We'd chill in the art room

Play games in the computer lab.

There were days we'd stay after

Explore and then go to games

We'd paint our faces red and yell,

Pounding out rhythms till the bleachers broke

Sometimes we'd have huge fights

But after time passed we'd get over it.

We each had our little groups and cliques

Though all together we still bonded well

Through trips to Cooperstown, the Andes, and D.C.

We found out how much we all had in common

There are days I miss you all terribly

And fondly remember the music trips we went on

The speech meets we survived

And still the memories are wonderful

And I hold you in my heart
