When my son goes to school
They have rules.
They say – be kind.
Share with other people.
Look after each other, and play gently.
Be careful.
Be mindful.
Tell the truth, and if you hurt someone, say sorry.
Hugs are good.
Work hard, and do your best, and be proud of your good work.
My boy is seven.
When he is grown up, the world will teach him
To forget those rules.
I am not a silent poet
