It’s Raining School
School
School, School, School
I’m not a student
I’m not a teacher
But nonetheless
The beginning of school impacts me greatly
My children are going back to university
I work within the system of school
My slowest times are when school is out
Not vacationing
Not spending time with family
Working, working for the community of
School
Them that leisure their way through sunny, bright summer days
Them that in the dead of winter, find themselves cozy next to fireplaces and under blankets
Them that in the Spring search out mountain tops full of snow to come down on blades
Them
They are the reason I battle the rainy weather of school falling from the sky
Walking onto school classrooms, peeping through classroom after classroom
Taking what I’m learning back
To advocate on their behalf
Ensuring that they receive the quality education deserved so they can reach their potential
That they are able to pursue the life, career, and college of their choosing
They – the little ones, the big ones, them
Them – they are the ones who will steer our future
And while they cannot I am there
The sun shines brighter when they are well educated and can conquer it all this world has for them
Them
At School
