Farewell

An Elegy
By Rinson Joy Taborada
Grade 9 - Mercy

You were like a red rose

That everyone yearned for.

Now, you've faded away;

Slowly slipping by the bay.

Now, you've left me with scars

That you can never heal.

I gazed at the sky for stars,

Wishing you were still here.

You illuminated like the sun

That shone through everyone.

You have given me fun.

Now, everything is done.
