It's a Christmas Carol

In a cold and rainy day I perceive the winds that blow away Raindrops plummet on the ground With its strong and deafening sound Though the heaven isn’t clear But laughter is what I hear Little children feel so much excitement For it would be their awaited moment But not all are ready for their presentation What I can see are movements and actions “Oh yes teacher! This is the day, But can we have a final practice, is it okay?” I nod my head with a smile So I’ve wait for a while Jolly moves and sweet voices With so much enthusiasm on their faces I call everybody’s attention So we could start the presentation But some kids are not yet around They aren’t yet in the school bound “Where are they?” I ask “Ma’am, they are still preparing props” Kids respond with a sad heart Then I inform them that we are about to start Seconds and minutes of waiting But yet, no one is coming Outside their eyes are staring And minds are too busy thinking I decide to start the caroling And so the first group starts singing But then they are still hoping That their colleagues are coming At the end of the occurrence they arrive With nervousness that is so hard to hide Teary-eye they came But no one to blame They’re thinking that their efforts are useless For it seems that there are no chances They feel too hopeless And lose their self confidence I do my part as teacher Words of encouragement for them to be better “It’s okay my dear” “It’s better late than never” It’s a Christmas carol They’re bringing attractive decors Excellent grades are what they want to savor Eager to end it with flying colors I bestow them another chance For they are in good hands I want them to succeed and be happy Their success is what I want to see by : JOYZEL MAE P.
