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.

Love Bon-Bon

Ahem..being seen, and not heard is what came to mind..be dutiful, and do as your told, not ever as you please, but as you are told. Authority,,true authority doesn't capitalize on your weakness, they embrace it, and use it to bring you to your strength. Submissive is good out of being respectful toward the ones that have earned it, but not to use in some harmful or some detrimental way toward you. Sorry but this is what came to mind. Not meant to offend in any way at all.
Love,
Terri~

How this poem came about was from a screensaver I have on my computer.
It's a little puppy sitting at a school desk looking so sad and I thought she ws so cute.
Glad you enjoyed.
Love Bon-Bon
