Summer time is fading away, back to school is fast approaching.
Gone the lounging on the back lawn with loads of sun protection screen on.
Under an umbrella with sunglasses perched on my head ready for wear.
I-pad in action a game in full play, I reach for a cool drink, to ease the tension away.
Radio playing the latest hot tunes of the day, cause my feet to tap, body to sway.
Later today mum has been making appointments for us to keep, purchasing new uniforms and shoes for our feet.
Along with trips to the dentist, hairdresser for a short back and sides.
To the bookshop for books we just have to have, for school requirements for course work, exercise books and new pens.
I am allowed to choose some exciting new books, to swop and share with my friends.
As the new term approaches there is a flurry of family visits, trying to fit them all in.
As once term starts there will be little time to visit them.
A last a short holiday weekend break, all we can afford to contemplate.
Budgets are tighter than they have ever been, as our parents keep reminding us.
Finally a big clean out of our personal space, to make room for all the new things we had to purchase.
As we pack our school bag, ready for the final Summer-day that is slipping away and we stand waiting, for the arrival of the school bus, ready to take us to whatever’s there ahead of us.
