Be glad that you are loved, And your children smile at your sight. Too tired to read, My heart pounds to the beat Of the clock ticking. Vacation is coming soon. The zipper of my brain has stuck, I'm in luck. Our classes are about to assemble And leave.
Students shout, teachers smile, As they crowd the school halls.
I can't describe the deep joy Of goodbyes. I know I will see you sometime soon. Too soon I fear. The mother bird is ready To throw her babies out. They have stayed too long.
