A Poem...

Hi P2 Families, 

I was thinking of you all and how strange this situation is for everyone. I decided to write a little poem to record how I think some of you might be feeling. 

I hope you enjoy it. 

Have a nice weekend. 

Chat soon

A Change For Me.

By Mrs. McGowan

I used to go to school each day

And see my friends, we loved to play

But since the corona virus struck

It seems we’ve had a change of luck!

We left school on Friday 14^th March,

Thinking we’d be back quick smart

But little did we know back then

that we would be off until…who knows when!

They said that lockdown soon would come

And we would have to stay home with dad and mum.

Which didn’t seem so bad at first

But now sometimes I feel like I could burst.

It isn’t always easy,

but it isn’t always hard

And I never in a million years thought

I’d see so much of my back yard.

Mum says it won’t last forever,

That we should try to have some faith

And I do, most days but it’s so hard

when you miss all of your best mates.

I’m trying to keep myself busy,

with home learning and new skills

Dad says by the time this is over,

My ‘new skills’ could pay the bills!

I know this time is uncertain

And it’s important to follow the rules

So that no else gets sick from this

And soon they can reopen all the schools.

I never thought I’d say it

But I cannot wait for the day

That I can get up and put my uniform on

And head off into school, for this I will pray.

But for now, I know what I must do

For the safety and you and me

I must learn to adapt to this new change

And accept that what will be will be.
