9 years have passed, a wonderful time,
But now it has reached the end of the line.
But do not despair, my fellow Bronies,
Now is no time to be a Moanie,
For we are all one, and we are all winning,
With each heartfelt end comes a great new beginning.
With each passing season we've seen the show flourish,
The mocked young men who helped it to flourish,
The painter, the drawer, the mighty typesetter,
and even Evictus (the less said, the better!)
The typer, the author, the actor in may,
Those convention goers who put on a play,
A union of friendship, built on through stages,
Memories, smiles, to last through the ages,
As we've seen it grow, so too grown have we,
Though some still look poorly upon Season 3,
For Twilight an Alicorn was too great a change,
And yet Queen of Equestria is not all too strange,
And we've seen Applejack bust her way through some lie,
whilst those called Crusaders rain terror on high,
From Luna to Discord, Sombra to Chrysalis,
A mighty selection of villains we seldom miss,
Though Tirek was mighty, as Lightning was too,
Though Cozy Glow-Bleargh!-not so good so soon,
And of course Starlight Glimmer, who caused such an uproar,
Yet her friendship porved it was worth the furor,
And though some do claim she was a low rent Sunset Shimmer,
She really has shown how well she can glimmer,
With Equestria Girls, a fine movie too,
Now boasting three sequels, and many changes of shoes.
Now alas we record that the end is neigh,
But I shall take this chance to say that
Do not despair that this series is ending,
Instead be glad of the friendships you're maintaining,
A union of people we often call Bronies,
united by a love of pastel-coloured ponies,
A movement forged on October 10th,
A legacy passed on, and gone from strength to strength.
And when the time comes for the book to close at last,
Do noy despair that G4 is past,
But please instead smile at the memories made,
Though we do with that some of it could be erased,
As a new light is coming, a great new beginning,
Our legacy work will not be the dimming,
As our work will continue, in word, pen, and art,
To finish the work the great Faust did start.
Noice~
Amen.

Yes it has. But we shall never forget the memories we made, or the friendships we forged. For Friendship truly is Magic.
Y'know, it's funny. I actually don't remember how I found fimfiction. In fact, the only reason I got into My Little Pony at first was because I had a friend who had referenced it once while sending me memes. I remember that the first story I had read had a paragraph where Twilight muses to herself that, while Pinkie Pie is one of her best friends, physics had been her friend longer, and Pinkie does horrible things to physics.
The first story I read on this site was Solar Child, back when chapter five had just been published a week prior. From there, I found Past Sins, which led me to actually sitting and watching the show.
I still have a picture a friend drew of an OC I made, naned Shattered Hope. Contrary to the usual trope of the angsty red-black alicorn OC, he was a pale gray unicorn with an emerald green mane and tail, with a single tattered thestral wing and scars on his side, legs, and face, and eyes like an Equinox pony. He was a simple bartender in Ponyville, married to Derpy, content to stay out of the myriad shenanigans that crop up every day in Ponyville.
I remember, after reading Necromancy for Foals, deciding to play Legends of Equestria, and I played as a pegasus the first time around, but got stuck after the graduation ceremony. I decided to delete that character and make a unicorn named Silver Moon, and I picked the Cutie Mark (referred to ingame as a talent mark) that, admittedly, kinda looked like a skull.
After roleplaying with some people in the world chat, and somehow lag-glitching to the top of the Crystal Castle, I decided to write a story about Silver, coming to canon Equestria, and being confused.
Now I sit here, years later, looking back on fond memories of catching the latest episode and remembering all the good times this series has brought me.
So thank you, Lauren Faust, and to you, bronies and pegasisters, for making the past nine years truly magical.
And let the rainbow remind you that together we will always shine.

Let the rainbow remind you that together we will always shine.
This was really good.
Wow. I’m speechless. And that’s a good thing. Cause this poem would make pinkie pie speechless and then bawl her eyes out. Fantastic job!
