First Day at School

I wanted my Mother, she said not to cry,


She left me, waved and blew a kiss goodbye,


All alone in a crowd, and these kids were so load,


Some of them tearful, others quite cheerful,


Dressed up I was left here, given a blue cap with peak,


An intense feeling of fear, my dry mouth that couldn't speak,


Inside the school fence, she left me a pack,


Do I have the sense to find my way back?


She may return, I'd better stay here,


Then a tall man came near, I wipe my eyes,


He was bald with a beard.. the look of the wise,


"Good morning, I'm Mr Saunders" he smilingly said,


"I am your teacher, and what is your name?"- "It's Fred!"


"Fred, put your hat on the rack, now wipe that tear,"


"Your Mum will be back, but, Your with Me this year!"
