Through the Years

Grandfather Clock at C.R. Smith Museum

Through the years you go

We are born into the world that we know

We don’t remember our very first years

In the blink of an eye, that time disappears

Making friends that you may keep forever

Hopefully, in school, you’ll be together

It’s the first day of school, an exciting day

Soon it will end, your first year out of the way

Several years in elementary school over at last

Oh how the years went by so fast

From middle school to high school, the years seem to fly

You walk across the stage with your head held high

Now you’re in college with a bright future ahead

With the snap of your fingers, those years are put to bed

Out of college, you come, with a full head of steam

You hope to be living your lifelong dream

As time continues to tick off the clock

Through the years you still walk

Time does move as fast as it used to 

How you got here you haven’t a clue

Children growing up are a sight to behold

Soon you begin to grow gray and old

As the years go slowly by

Of your time there is less supply

Later on, time has almost come to an end

Your time left on Earth, you wish you could extend

This life you lived was to a great extent

Through the years you went

About the Contributor
Jackson Blackwell
Jackson Blackwell, Staff Writer
Hi! My name is Jackson Blackwell, and I have lived in Georgia my entire life. I am a staff writer for the Journalism program at North Forsyth High School, here in Cumming, Georgia. Also, I am a part of the cross country team at school. I will be taking seven classes at North Forsyth this year, with several different teachers. This is my first year as a member of the journalism program, and I am in the eleventh grade as a junior. The number one thing I enjoy the most as a sports fan is going to Georgia Bulldogs football and basketball games, as well as Atlanta Braves baseball games. I like watching games, or going to games, but prefer to go to them instead. I also enjoy doing things outdoors as well. My goal in journalism is to build on my writing skills, and gain experience in the journalism industry.
