it's that time of the year
the letting out of school for a few months
kids are happy
teachers and assorted back-up help
are probably even happier than the kids are
I remember when I was in school
couldn't wait for summer vacation to come
Eh, I'm older now
doesn't seem to matter one way or the other anymore
least it shouldn't
I wonder why it does
and why it makes me sad?

Cause that's the way it was and it was a break.
I believe we all care even though we try to convince ourselves and others we don't.
Oh how we can lie to ourself but the difference is we can't really ever get away with it.

Great work Jerry

Thanks for your kind input, Eric. Strange what affects us at times such as this.

Sometimes school is a sanctuary for children.

For thirty years I worked at a school and like everyone else I couldn't wait for summer vacation. Now that I am retired it seems strange when school starts in the fall without me.
