Like a pale flower he sits in dismay predicting hate and bad kids in his mind, waiting for the bus to take him away to unknown rooms and a place that's class. In the bright schoolbus, the seats hosting youth so boisterously in time with dreams alive, he rides away from Mom's apron strings, sad in his look, but filled with her words of faith and her love, reassurance of her soft kiss. His home and his friends seem all lost he's so alone with emptiness to grip and surely a mad teacher to greet him. Bus stops and a small hand takes his in trust, and he's drawn to smile at tender sweet eyes. [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 07-18-2000).] |

Oh, the preciousness of this poem with the innocense of a child going off to join the massive world away from security of parents. Excellent poem, I enjoyed.  |

This one brought tears of remembrance. My oldest son started school last year and I can still remember that sad look in his eyes. That look that completely broke my heart. He didn't cry though thank God. If he had I would've lost it. I'd have been in that classroom with him all day  Thank you for giving me a reason to reflect on that memory |
