A school

A school
building is on its own

its busy
during the week

kids
running down it corridors,

being cheeky
as kids can be

 

the men who
built this school

back in 1956

took pride
in there work

no health
and Safety then

no hard hats
at all just working men

 

and over the
years so many things

have taken
place here

mums and
dads

grannies and
granddads

so many
people picking up kids from here

if you close
your eyes, you can almost see the years go by

 

each
footpath tell a story

each room
holds a memory

of the loud,

chat of
children

and

teacher
shouting

quiet please

 

some of its
teacher look so young

some have
stay and some have gone away

in its halls
the memories hold strong

if you hear
a song it reminds you of a time

oh so long
ago

 

kids doing
lines

a 100 times

and the
sunshine

breaks the
winters day

on a frozen
day

and the sun
makes shadows on the wall

and out side
you can hear the sound of children at play

 

all the
Christmas plays and summer fetes and sport days

and the
holidays

when the
school was alone

and no one
was there it was on its own

 

if you pass
the school on a Christmas day

you can
almost hear the haunted sounds of children in playground

and if you
close your eyes

your are
taken back to a busy school day
