Poem: 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.
 
The Window

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.
