Sitting outside the principal's office


Memories of a seven-year-old.

He knew it was him who kicked the ball
that smashed the window of the year 2 classroom.

He knew the teachers weren't sure
if it was him or Christopher that had done it.

He knew his conscience was telling him
to tell the truth and do the right thing.

He knew that sometimes the hardest thing
and the right thing are the same.

You can't go wrong
if you listen to your conscience.
