A Line of Kids

I often see a line of kids With vests of neon green Go walking down the street; it is A charming urban scene. They’re anywhere from two to four, Connected by a rope, So no one up and wanders off; At least that is the hope. A grown-up walks in front and back And stops to deal with tears, But mostly, it’s a happy group, Or that’s how it appears. I’m sure they get to run around As those in preschool should, Though, being city kids, they also Stroll the neighborhood.

So cute. My daughter did head start at age 3. Her speech development was really weird. Anyway it is a nice program free to kids low income or with disabilities
