Of Course they Didn`t

First Day at Secondary School

I wanted them to see him as the brightest star
to see him through my eyes
but of course they didn`t.

I wanted them to rush over to him
begging to be his friend
be enchanted by his being
but of course they didn`t.

I wanted them to be enthralled
to want to get to know him
to see his real worth
but of course they didn`t.

I wanted them to see his humour
his intelligence
his good heart
but of course they didn`t.

I wanted them to invite him to join them
make him laugh
and make him welcome
but of course they didn`t.

Instead they clumped together in groups made years ago
not seeing
nor hearing him
for he was not yet one of them.
