2024 Travers Winner!

~Luke Soliman, Class of 2026

Those we love have come and gone
Those we love have always looked ahead
Those we love have always stayed
Those we love will never be dead

In our hearts we begin to mourn
About feelings we don’t understand
We have never felt this way before
But somehow we withstand

What do we withstand?
Every feeling of mourning
Why do we do this?
To get up in the morning

Sometimes it is better 
To not get up and contemplate
About our feelings
And think about our mental state

As we finally get up
We understand the reason
Why they had to go
And that it was not treason

And when we get over it
We are able to be joyous
Because we appreciate
One day they will rejoin us
