September from Yearlong by madeleine aguilar

Football, high school, college,
Things are changing for all of us.
But we still walk down the same street,
Past my old schools,
Together

A lot has changed,
But a lot has stayed the same

This is our new routine,
This is our new way of being,
This is not as hard as I thought it would be

It's so nice coming home after school,
It makes me appreciate my neighborhood,
More than I have before,
And my backyard,
And my dog,
And my family,
I love them all

A lot has changed,
But a lot has stayed the same

This is our new routine,
This is our new way of being,
This is not as hard as I thought it would be
