August

It's hard to believe that August is here;
the year is 7/12ths of the way done.
Graduation day draws slowly nearer
I can't help but feel I've already won

While much of my journey still lies ahead
I just can't ignore how far I have come
and where so far this great journey has led
and think about what I will soon become

I swear January was yesterday
this year was new and had just begun
I blinked my eyes and the year ran away
and now it's almost time for a new one

But still five months of this year do remain
and I know that they will fly by again
