Just a moment, time does fly We’ll be in the classroom, Beyond Mother’s eye… Just a moment, soon we’ll try Breathing secrets – into the ear Expectant friends shall hear All of our riddles and wishes Dreams that arise from summer When our hearts did forsake All the reading and writing The endless studying – revising Cramming our minds with facts That don’t claim to be pleasing Yet they give us degrees, victory Just a moment and we’ll find Hidden away, beneath the smiles Hearts who long for the summer sun The kindness of laughter, the hugs From such an abundance of joy Hearts seem to echo with satisfaction Feelings so intense they inspire us To bring back to school with us… The highlights of our summertime Adventures in life that delight and inspire us Back to School Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Francine Roberts August 21, 2022
