I'm off to boarding school,
Where there's a simple rule.
We want you to be happy;
Well, I got a bit snappy!
But as I looked through all the cons,
I saw reasons that mattered through those ones!
Ones that made friends and opportunities,
And a friendly community!
Even with these great pros,
How I'll cope who knows?
I don't want to leave my mother,
My father or my brother!
But now I see
That they'll take good care of me.
And mum and dad'll miss me too,
Just remember that 'I love you'.
