    My Daughter's Poetry

     
     
     
     
    All Grown Up
     
    by Calli Hart Walton
     
     
    Flourescent lights, Dull and blinding
    Fall upon desks and chairs
    The smell of chalkdust
    And a freshly sharpened pencil
    Scratching out equations.
     
    I lift my head and gaze
    Past the window
    And let my mind escape
    To play in golden leaves
    And roll down grassy hills
    As I once did When I was young
    Skinned knees and blisters
    From falling on the playground
     
    The bell chimes
    Its mocking, sing-song melody
    Snapping my mind into place
    Trigonometry
    Broken hearts
    Drugs and cigarettes
    And to think...
    I wanted to be a 'big kid'

    I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Mother.  But the thought of being once again with her love does bring a smile to the heart doesn't it.  Warm hugs for you Bonnie.......
