Up with the sun

I'm on my way,

Rushing to my school,

What makes me so glad ?

New shoes, new bag,

My uniform is new;

New books, new class,

A new class-teacher too!

So everything is new

And that is really fine.

Yet, What's old, and goods as gold

Are the good old friends of mine!

When did my childhood go? Was it the time I realised that adults were not all they seemed to be, They talked of love and preached of love, But did not act so lovingly, Was that the day! When did my childhood go? Was it when I found my mind was really ...
