I wondered and I wondered
when I could go to school.
They said I was’t old enough
according to the rule.
I waited and I waited,
I was patient as could be.
And now....I’m all excited...
it’s time for school for me!
There were tears in her eyes as she wandered away.
As there were in her mother’s, on such as day.
For all mothers to weep seems world-over the rule
When the baby grows up and starts to school.
That turning her back for the first time appears
As excusable reason for heartache and tears
This first touch of grief every mother has known:
Time to take him to school and to come back alone.
It was so long ago when her schooling began
And so it will be when he’s grown to a man.
When his baby’s mother some morning must rise
To take him to school, there’ll be tears n her eyes.
