The Window

I penned this at South Gap in my first year of governessing.  It was written on 13 of August 1997.  The year 3 schoolwork had a fantastic unit on poetry, which inspired me to start writing again.  What a great lifestyle governessing is, it allows you to follow all your dreams.  

I

You wake up in the morning,

What a great looking day

Out the window the sun shines away.

 

Getting up and having breakfast

Hoping for delight not dismay

For out the window the sun shines away.

 

Into the schoolroom we go

Starting a new day

Looking out the window the sun shines away.

 

Finally reached smoko

She’s trying her best

Still out the window the sun shines away

 

Back into the schoolroom

Back to the fray

Through the window the sun shines away.

 

Lunchtime has arrived

I’m feeling frazzled and dazed

Yet out the window the sun shines away.

 

Afternoon filled with Art and science

Developmental play

And out the window the sun shines away.

 

School is out at last

She’ll get a star

As we look out the window the sun shines away.

 

The rest or the day is mine at last

Peace and sunshine

Then I look out the window and see rain coming this way.
