Returning back
After 26 years
Back to the school that I remember
Washington Park has changed a lot
since I left
Renovated here and there
Memories of past teachers and former
classmates flood my mind
For this time being
I peek through the glass
Seeing the new classrooms
Yet the old staircase I used to walk
down every morning is still there
Outside the school
I spy the sidewalk
Where my classmates and I saw the school
parade
Back in late September of 1987
26 years is a long time
However it was a long wait worth it
In the end
