THE SCHOOL GATE

People walk past, they don't notice the gate,

But those who've walked through, there's a past to relate.

Happiest days, some people say,

To others a misery to endure every day.

Next time you walk past a school gate on your travels

Spare a thought who's walked through 

And what mystery unravels,

We all have fond memories of days spent at school

Heads stuck in books or playing the fool

We look back in time, all sitting in class

In the blink of an eye, schooldays gone in a flash

Remember school friends, whether near or far

Our days spent at school, moulded us as we are

So thanks to the teachers, for the lessons they taught

They helped to prepare us for lifes battles we fought

Throughout our great nation,

To get where we are, you helped lay the foundation

So next time you pass, stop at the gate

It all started here, to make our lives great!
