A Primary Consideration

Another year with shining face!

My not-so-little ones, with grace,

Now pose in front of Mummy’s lens

Smartly dressed, hols at an end.

 

Poised as to the manner born

School beckons – hence the uniform

The style relaxed and easy care

As classes start in sunny glare.

 

I wonder what goes through their mind

With challenges of every kind?

Tough subjects which will test their skills;

An outside life with sporting thrills …

 

Sweet Isabella’s not quite there

 But Thomas now can read with care;

All progress at this age is swift

In no time she will catch the drift!

 

Though distant, Auntie’s in the loop

Each milestone registered - a scoop!

Proud parents having loves like these

Who bring such joy to family frieze!
