Day One

Day one...
Hot sunny September
New at the High School
In white and grey trousers
Radiant like rays on a pool
Flooded my face at my pausers 
Vividly, I could remember
Many friends won.

Day one...
I cruised the scholar chambers
All at their success tool
As the fixed of lovers
I found it cool
That scene in me still hovers
New, songs and tumblers 
In the sun.

Day one...
A new me
To a new life.
World of books,
Bank of knowledge,
Great looks.
My pen, my golden staff.
I felt the real scent of a son.

Very well captured, the enquiring mind in the quest for knowledge, but also capturing the new friendships and a sense of hope for the future.

What an awesome memory of Day one for you. I sense your strong love of knowledge here. Books were very important in my young life as well.
