Dreamers Are Never Alone

Lou Rogers

I felt alone in the class room

Sitting very still - -

My mind filling with dreams

With every dream sneaking in

Very much against my will

The teacher was chalking

Words on the blackboard

When suddenly,- as if someone

Had tapped her on the shoulder

She spun around

With her glance scanning the room

Her eyes getting bolder and bolder

It took only a second

Until her sharp eyes found mine

I looked down at my pencil

And tried to frown

But all I managed to do

Was to feel like a clown

First, I heard her footsteps - -

Then her voice, saying, “come here!”.

I came out of my seat

Feeling alone in my fear

I didn’t look up

To know where I was going

But soon as I did

What a surprise!

There was half my class

Walking forward with me

All with fear in their eyes.
