“Down the Road”


“Down the Road”

Senior year is quickly coming to an end

Prom and graduation are right around the bend

Before I know it, I will be well on my way

To a new beginning, at a school far away

 

Going to school at Ole Miss will be both thrilling and frightening

To be so far away and know no one is not really heightening

My spirits of how well this new journey will go

But then I think of the opportunities and how I will grow

 

My future is unknown with where this new adventure will take me

But I’m sure where ever it is, there will grow a tree

A tree whose roots that will become bigger and stronger

With each connection that keeps me there longer

 

A new school, friends and additional family

Will mature and age this growing tree

One that will be made up of

A tree filled with life and rooted with love.

  2. Remember Leigha what I told you. Going away will be good for you. If you ever feel alone or scared, you know that I am a phone call away. Love ya Lee Lee! :)
