Magic

As the summer is about to dispose of it's humidity and heat
Our once silent hallways erupt with the sounds of excited little feet
One can only guess what some of these miniature invaders would do if dared
Yet, others seem so shy, nervous, and scared

Yes, some seem to be be treacherous and not Heaven sent,
And others are certain to be doctors or perhaps our future president
I find myself guessing what some of these little people will become before long
And, yet I pray that my estimation of others would prove to be wrong

Only a few will ever find themselves in the midst of fortune and fame
And others will fail and try to give their parents and teachers the blame
As I look upon these children, I know I am watching life in full motion
And I have only concluded that for their success education is a powerful and magical potion.
