back to school


The best summer ever
Maybe not for you, but for me
Seeing you being so capable
Working your busy life.

You love working with children
And you love doing crafts
So you got up in the morning
Happy to be off to day camp.

You enjoy being a sociable waitress
And you liked the restaurant boss.
You got practice speaking Spanish
Serving immigrant clientele.

You found time to tutor a young Korean
Practicing the methods you learned in college.
Your bank account balance went up
Enough to see you through next year.

You made sure to have time for friendships
For going places and having fun together.
I see the emerging adult doing so well.
Nothing is better than that.
