Missing I watched from the window while you spoke your mind, forgetting how much I enjoyed playground noise so many years ago. I could feel the remnants of the touch of small hands tugging, wanting, needing me to solve a problem that was too big for them. For me the sun shone every day in their little faces. Sometimes just talking about it brings a feeling of joy. To see them grow before your eyes, in knowledge and height... I know what I have to do... My future is there, in the remnants of my past.

I love the last line Maureen, but don't spend too much time in the past - it's a labyrinth and you could be lost. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Relate well to this poignant write. Spent awhile driving school buses as a sideline and really miss the kids - especially the younger ones. Have thought often of doing it again but can't coordiante the hours with my full time occupation. Alas...memories, then, are all the more important. enjoyed... jwesley |

This is quite a touching write, Maureen. I can certainly relate, since I spent many years in education, and I often miss it as well. A beautifully penned piece, my friend.

Maureen, though I have never taught school, I taught Sunday School for many years. I have seen many of the little ones I taught grow up into fine young men and women. It feels good to know I may have had a small part in helping them. I don't teach anymore because of health reasons, and I miss it a lot sometimes. Hugs to you, Ethel |

Maureen - I am getting something entirely different out of this - which is typical for me geez . . . BUT seems to me you are missing more than the "noises" in the playground . . . loved this xxoo |
