The Reward
By Richard Charles
Lots of kids, making noise,
some with books and some with toys.
Pencil gripped, as I copy out
"Teacher, teacher" some others shout.
Trying hard to make mine neat,
shifting, squirming in my seat.
My head is low and mouth us tight
as I pray that Miss just thinks mine's right!
Work is marked, "Here you are".
A flood of joy..... a GOLDEN STAR!
