CELIA'S POEMS

            No 171    September 04

            I’ve just heard about the children,

            Going back to school,

            I know I should be pleased for them,

            We’ve got to stick to the rule.

            But I have got mixed feelings,

            We love our children so,

            When after we’re told to stay in,

            How can we let them go.

            It’s been a dreadful time we know,

            But our job is to protect them,

            I can’t help it, I’m not happy,

            To me it is a problem.

            There’ll be no social distancing,

            With the little ones at play,

            The teachers have so much to do,

            They’re busy all the day.

            I may not be correct with this,

            But I just have to say,

            There’s nothing I can do I know,

            So I’ll just have to pray.
