58/1000 - Falling Behind

January 2011

You've only missed
A few days of school,
But you missed
An entire chapter in math,
And a couple short stories in English.
I know you've been gone a lot,
And you've never had a problem
With catching back up,
But I worry about you
Sometimes,
And in this worrying,
I worry you'll fall behind,
And I worry you won't be happy
And won't want to spend time
With me.
So don't fall behind,
And come back to school
Please.
