My future is moving on from PHS
To a retirement that’s beyond all of this
But I take with me what I learned from both students & staff
Specifically that my future is the multiplication of my accumulated past
Each idea that I’ve heard from students’ poems
Is instilled in my mind and will be with me wherever I roam
Each student story and essay that I’ve read
Is retained in deep recesses within my head
Each person I’ve spoken to at length
Is added knowledge that builds into my personal strength
And each smile I encountered while here
Glows warm within me a to help me through any future fear
I’m moving on, but parts from you are coming within me as well
And that insures my future has PHS support wherever I go and wherever I dwell
Thank you to all I met these past 27 wonderful years
I hold you close in my heart with warm smiles and joyful appreciative tears
