Getting back to school

Bedtimes  come quickly

Lunches are packed

New clothes are prickly

The buses come back

 

The summer was fun

Three months just flew

Now is the time

To get back to school

 

Teachers will welcome

School bells will ring

Kids pack the class rooms

All back in the swing

 

The same thing happens

Year after year

Kids making memories

Someday they’ll hold dear

 

 

 

A Walk by the River

We walked the path to the river today
casting modern life away

The lapping water and calling birds
were peaceful, timeless sounds we heard

Someday the boys will be grown men
they will follow their own callings then

But just for this moment
we froze time

Down by the river,
these boys of mine
