School and Children


I hear them say, “She has such sad brown eyes.”
Look how she walks isn’t that sweet.
I wonder if she’ll be smart like her mother?
Look at that coloring and her hair is as soft as silk.
She certainly is a beauty.

I have to go to school today.
I have to learn how to walk and how to sit properly.
I have to learn to use my voice when danger is near.
I have to learn sign language, all those meanings of the hands.
I have to learn to be a lady, be gentle, and be extra kind.

I have to go to school again today.
I think I’ll take an apple to the teacher.
That little desk is uncomfortable,
maybe I can sit on the floor.
The teacher standing before me saying,
“You have such sad eyes, you sure are a beauty.”

I’m going to graduate today.
I have learned to be an obedient little girl.
I walk by your side and sit when I’m told.
I’m graduating from puppy school today.
I’m a big girl now, and I sure am a beauty.

beautful write,, from start to end...

A voice of honesty
   is treasured
more than voices
   of flattery
