Back to school…..#poetry by Jane Aguiar

God give me childhood,
don't change my mood,
to go back to school,
to climb the stairs of the school.

To share an umbrella,
to wet my friend Ruella,
to show the drizzle with white pencil on my slate,
to run to school so as not to be late.

To separate the hair for a simple look, 
apply talcum powder for a fairer look. 
Tiffins, cakes and muffins to share 
and care for.

To bunk school, 
to do homework an hour before school, 
to clean shoes without the washing process, 
to play hide and seek at recess.

To make noise in the class
until the teacher enters the class.
To play to my hearts content during P.E hours,
to wait for the bell to ring at the last hour.
