the year one pupils







The early birds
The parents too
The Year one pupils
They are eager to go

Some flow naturally
Some stare with bewildered eyes
So many new faces
Parents sending them to school

The parents wait
On the corridors the morning light
Anxious faces knots in their minds
The rituals the familiar call

Some children cry
Feeling out of grid
The familiar walls disappearing
Tears begin to fall

Within a week
The children will smile
New friends sharing gadgets
Swap stories with laughter in the hall
