WHERE LEARNING BEGINS...

Inspired by Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

Written by Brianna Amoscato

There is a place where the fields glisten and learning begins

And ideas breathe under the rising sun’s glow

And there tiny seeds learn their might

And there the roots become wings and begin to take flight

And there the chalkboard pavement cares not who is right

Feathers drift to where they don’t normally go

Let us learn to hug dark clouds of mistakes

Travel where the bark unravels and bends

Through the painted fences we begin to walk

We shall smile at the chipped paint and open the locks

And fly with the birds we created with chalk

To the place where learning begins

Yes we’ll smile at the chipped paint and open the locks

And soar with the birds we created with chalk

For the children, they smile, and the children they talk

about the place where learning begins.
