September
September means it's time again
For going off to school.
The days are getting shorter
And the nights are getting cool.
September
September is a time,
Of beginning for all
Beginning of school
Beginning of fall.
The First Day of School
I wonder if my drawing will be as
good as theirs
I wonder if they'll like me, or just be full of stares
I wonder if my teacher will look like mom or gram
And I wonder if my puppy will wonder where I am.

Backpack
On my back
a pack I carry
In it, all my treasures.
It's what I need
So I can be
One class higher!
Crayons, ruler,
scissors too,
And yes a little Elmer's glue
Paper, pencils, in my bag…
Wonder what made mom so sad?
Trapper keeper,
nice and neat
Will it really stay this clean?
On my back a
pack I carry
In it, all my treasures!
Today I'll be
Just watch and see
One class higher!
