National Poetry Month: Fortune Cookie Poetry 20, “Don’t be sad because it’s over. Be happy because it happened.”

This one is appropriate enough considering it’s my last day of my trip. I will soon take off my chaperone hat and put it on the shelf to collect dust. It’s been an interesting ride.

Hats off to teachers for all they do.

So I hope you enjoy my second (and hopefully last) bus poem.

Don’t be sad because it’s over. Be happy because it happened.

Ode to the Chorus Trip
By Michelle Garren-Flye

I have enjoyed your joyful noise;
the journey was even fun:
time spent with the girls and boys
playing and singing in the sun.

And now it is time for home,
It’s hard to say goodbye
but we’ll be there before long
so please don’t scream and cry.

You’ll sleep in your bed tonight!
Remember the friends you’ve made,
discoveries that came to light,
and this brief time will not fade.
