**This is another piece written in memory of my high school, which is closing down.
Flashback
4/2/04
Do you remember the first day
when you came eager to meet the class
Do you remember the acute relief
of the test you thought you'd never pass
Do you remember nap time
when we watched "Sesame Street"
Do you remember the joy and laughter
following a rival's defeat
Do you remember the "Rainbow Bright" record
played while we made works of art
Do you remember the prom scene
that, miraculously, didn't fall apart
Do you remember recess
where boys chase girls was fun
Do you remember the elation
when the last day of the year was done
Do you remember junior high
when classes got so tough
Do you remember the basketball games
that got a little rough
Memories are the precious stones
inside a diamond ring
and as we look towards the future
we try not to show our despairing
For behind us the past is drawing to close
as we say good-bye to all we once knew
But the memories of BHS will sustain us
no matter what we have to do
**The last stanza still isn't set in stone, so if you have any suggestions as how to finish it better please feel free to do so
