We celebrate the end
with school and the teachers
we look into the future

bind bandages of best
wishes on the wounds
of friendships

promise not to scratch
   we leave with flowers
      and will miss each other

We celebrate the end
bye, colleagues, here's on your
health and happiness!

We talk and laugh
as always, as if
it isn't really

the last time
   we leave with flowers
      and will miss each other

We celebrate the end
the house is vacated, tea
with the neighbours, a long time

we just watch the tree
in our garden, growing
in the light, the growing

towards the sun
   we leave with flowers
      and will miss each other
