THE EARLY SCHOOL DAYS

When going to school at a tender age,
The little girl would put on her socks and shoes,
Give her parents a goodbye kiss,
And run out with her school bag and lunchbox,
A smile upon her face, filled with joy and happiness,
Excited to learn a new word from her teacher.

Days turned into months,
And months into years,
Until finally came her graduation day—
The day she would leave those beautiful school days behind.

Afterward, her school uniform and school necessities
Rested quietly in the wardrobe,
Becoming memories of her beautiful early days.

She looked at them, sighed, and said,
"Indeed, this is where you finally ended,
After being with me through my beautiful early days." ??

A tender free-verse reflection that traces the little girl’s journey from eager first school days to the quiet poignancy of graduation. The simple, chronological form suits the theme beautifully, while the final image of her uniform and school things resting in the wardrobe gives the poem a heartfelt sense of childhood becoming memory.
