First Day At School
THE FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL
I was three and half
Enjoying my smile and my laugh
But then my father came
Telling me to play a game
A game in which i should hide
Inside a building that was beside
I asked him hide and seek
He told me no and not to sneak
I was excited to play it along
I was dressed up for so long
In White shirt and blue shorts
Hanging hanky and a bag on slots
I was jumping to play that game
So excited I never became
took out bicycle to drove me there
Hundreds in the same dress crying every where
I asked him scared how will you find me
He said I need to plan and see
I went in with a smiling face
Not knowing the future phase
One hour was easy to survive
When I saw some people arrive
Same one's I saw them at the gate
Some were early and some coming late
My heart started to pump
And my tears coming in lump
I thought the game is over
my father to find me a little slower
I started crying they won't be able to find
And I will be stuck here to grind
I cried and cried , for the whole day
Everybody trying to make me quite in their own way
At last when a strange bell was out
Teachers in the room gave a shout
To go the gate where we came
Then I thought now it's the end of the game
I saw my father standing
Outside to look for me constantly bending
I ran up to him to hug him tight
And kept hitting him like it was a fight
I said crying I don't wanna play this game of yours
It's better we play you as the horse
He took me into his arms
And I was back to the calms
At night he was lying beside me
I was asleep to see
He saw me weeping
And then he started his speaking
He said the game we played is called schooling
I said it as a game, I was fooling
The building you went in is a school
And there I made you another fool
The rooms you sat in are classes
This is an important phase that passes
It's a game of learning
Which all values you should be earning
He caressed his hand on my hair
And told me to sleep with a care
First day at school I still recall
This was the most important day in my life after all
