A familiar day has started
on my way to school
I can't help but wonder
some people on the streets
are walking backwards.
Confused and baffled
I asked someone " hey wait, are you going somewhere?"
The man looked at me it seems that he's in a hurry
He answered me impatiently
"I'm quite busy, can't you see!?"
so I just nod my head and turned away
I thought maybe this day has a lot to offer.
The bell rang, the time has come
the teacher entered the room
slowly she walked, without a glance she talked
"open your books, the class will begin."
with an absent mind gesture
she flipped the pages of her book
too fast to read, to fast to look
one student asked; "teacher, is there something wrong?"
she replied with a tear in her eyes,
"I wish I could flip the pages of my life to who I was before"
quite moved I agreed and stood up from my chair
"I'll be going now, no need to wait for the bell"
with a smile I started to walk ,
I walked backwards, the whole class was in shock
out of the doorway, away and away
I was right, this day has a lot more to offer..
