Home Too School To Home

Strolling on unknown streets

Ignoring strange glances

Neglecting salty sweat stains

I pick up pace gasping for air

How about I surprise you with something!


Clickety click on my phone

Oh there's time, I can take a jigety jog

Scorching sun, racing vehicles, smoky air, dusty path

I walk and walk and walk

Up, down, across

My thirsty throat calls for a drink

But I have no time to think


Here is where I can get the play doh

Wow, moulds, roller, cutter and more

Some flourescent sheets for craft

And a new book hows th

at

Done so where's the next one

Ah, there I see, hunky dory

Two perfect caps and some body lotion will just do

All done now all I do is run

Back to school... back to school as fast as I can

Common legs! Ignore the pain just think you can


I enter the gate and you steal a quick glance of me

Oh man, but there is another minute or two to be

You tap on the glass and sob in tiny tears

I rush within to pick you up and help you let go off your fears

Some words, a hug and few kisses do the rest

You see the bags in my hand and smile your best

A teary thank you and a happy one

Now let's go home, school is done
