Chalk dust swirls in the afternoon light,
a fragile moment, a battle, a fight.
My son’s last piece slips, falls to the floor,
a frustration tangled with hope, evermore.
Numbers etched in the board, a dance gone wrong,
smudged with the echoes of lessons lifelong.
A classroom alive with voices and dreams,
where chalk speaks loudly, or so it seems.
