BEFORE 2. Walk to School

BEFORE

2. WALK TO SCHOOL

It was always a frustrating delight
To walk child Clara to school
Because every few yards, it seemed
There was something
To interest, intrigue, take her fancy.

“Come on Clara, school starts in a few minutes!”
But there were flowers,
Or a cat that came purring to her stroking hands,
Or an elderly neighbour
Clara had to chat with.

Clara dawdled, played, delighted,
School could wait,
Her whole life was before her,

She had all the time in the world.
