Laughter and screams
Of young ‘uns
Seem to vibrate the air
As I gaze askance
Over a dilapidated gate
Now rusty with time
Murals of Donald Duck
And Mickey Mouse
On the wall
Sparsely visible now
How we raved over them
Dreams of Disneyland
Running riot
In our young mind
Frilly dresses
And pinafores
Ribbons and Alice bands
What a kaleidoscope
Of colors and shapes
As we gaily danced
To the tune of
Age old nursery rhymes
Riding again on the mat slide
Swoosh! On to ground
My mind jolts back
To the presence
Wishing ‘twas
Montessori Days
Again
