MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
*
by Gene Minix
*
I went my first day of school
In what seems not that far away.
It was back in the Fifties
But it seems like just the other day.
*
I remember that day so well
And what the teacher had to say.
She read to us from the Bible
Then we bowed our heads to pray.
*
We watched them raise the flag.
How beautiful the red, white and blue.
We stood at the window and saluted it
And it felt good through and through.
*
We learned to read Alice and Jerry books.
Learned our numbers, too.
We learned about the Golden Rule,
What we could and shouldn't do.
*
The windows and doors stood open.
There was nothing to fear.
Those were the Good Old Days.
Don't you wish they were still here.
*
But how things have changed.
Our schools are all locked down.
Could it be because God isn't allowed in
And no Bible can be found?
