Off to School

 

Off to school when first you know

It’s beyond the home you really grow

 

A story has so many points of view

Every book and every chapter’s new

 

Each year a story is added for you

Maybe crayon in finger paint when two

 

Soon pages turn ever faster

As life stories and plots we master

 

We build the stories that we live

Learning, loving, taking and we give

 

A chapter turns, and our story is clearer

Career, college and tests are nearer

 

No longer does someone read to you

You are responsible for your own point of view

 

Into the next chapter future burning

Pages written and more rapidly turning

 

Careers and life and loves are like blowing winds

Driving where and how the next chapter begins

 

Your children off to school, at various ages

You find consuming story as you help turn their pages

 

Before too long you are reading grandkids stories

Your book, their book, in chapters you revel in all their glories

 

So, it’s back to school this time of year

So, write your grand story, bold, happy and without fear!
