School Dayz

I open up my window To feel the cool morning breeze The screen gently pats my nose Gray skies are all I see. Then little spurts of rain Begin to dance upon my face Through the screen they come As silence holds this place. The ground darkens in an instant With millions and millions of drops Of rain that have come to quench The earth until it's time to stop. Soon the sky becomes a brighter gray The rain begins to taper off Parking lot lights remain lit As early drivers pull off. It's just after 7:30 am Voices begin to fill the air Echoes of laughter bounce off the walls I gaze in wonder and stare. Vibrant and full of energy Children come to run and play Chasing each other, dropping book bags Ready to start another day. Busses arrive with engines roaring Their lights flashing bright red The children soon gather together Boarding the bus with kissed heads. Precious are the lives of children Their cares and worries few Bringing joy and happiness Every day to people like me and you.
