~Xavier Mercado, Class of 2024

Where skies meet land,
Eager eyes and eager ears,
A planespotter stands, keen and true,
Captivated by the soaring sight.
Amongst the rumble of engines might,
We seek the souls of graceful flight,
To keep the blue side up,
A tale of adventure, old and new.
From the airliners to the tiny props,
We track each flight with glee,
For every plane holds a story untold,
Through spotting, its mysteries unfold.
Each symphony of departures and landings,
We spotters find our understandings,
The freedom of dreams, taking flight,
With every shutter in the sky’s expanse.
