First Day of Class

One day I noticed a child And I said, "What are you up to?" The child responded casually, "I'm on my way to school". And what are you going to do When you are there?" Maybe the child said, "I can learn to have and share!" "And what else do you think You would like to learn?" "I'd like to learn of money So I can spend and earn!" "And whatever else Do you think you'd like to do?" "I want to make new friends To have to walk to school!" "And tell me child now What can you learn from all this stuff?" "Well ma'am, the child further answered, I can learn to grow up!" Brenda Elizabeth Rose
