Closing Day Thought

by Leland B. Jacobs

I wonder if our schoolbooks
are lonely all the day
While through the long vacation
in cupboards put away?
I wonder if the blackboard
seems rather out of place
Without a single piece of chalk
to mark upon its face?
I wonder if the schoolroom
is sometimes lonely, too
While standing bare and empty
without a thing to do?
But this we can assure them.
When summer days all flee
We'll join them in September
and keep them company.
