The books are closed, the exams are done, Â
A chapter ends, a new one's begun. Â
No more the rush of schoolyard days, Â
Now life's ahead in countless ways. Â
The friends we made, the bonds so tight, Â
Will shine like stars in the darkest night. Â
Yet paths will change, and so will we, Â
As we step into what’s meant to be. Â
New dreams to chase, new goals in sight, Â
A future waiting, bold and bright. Â
Though school is gone, its lessons stay, Â
To guide us through each step, each day. Â
With open hearts, we move ahead, Â
No fears, no doubts, just hope instead. Â
The world is ours, so vast, so wide, Â
A new beginning—let’s walk with pride!
