September mornings, sunny faces
walking crisply back to school.
Weeks ago they stripped the traces,
now it seems to feel quite cool
to meet their friends again, and find
the welcomed order stirs the mind
to leave those lazy days behind.

September mornings, Mums released,
weeks of constant duty ended
(activities devised, policed)
– temporarily suspended.
Now their therapy’s begun,
they walk their flock, or drive the run,
refreshed as new committments come.

A very timely poem, Rhiannon. Back to school for most kids this week, and I guess many mums will sigh a sigh of relief. Much enjoyed. Tina

Yes, inspired by walking past the flocks of kids of all ages, mums, and parked cars along by the local schools this week, — many happy faces, not glum, at returning! Glad you enjoyed, regards, Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon

How true it is, that as keen as kids are to finish for the summer, they mostly seem keen to get back. And the mums are very keen for them to go back too. I remember it well.

Thanks, Jean. .I remember it too, especially when my husband was self-employed working at home! The school holidays were then a bit of a balancing act, the boys and I going out for walks regularly!  Rhiannon
