"Ready?" asks the winter and we all shout "No!"
"Ready?" teachers walk back and forth. "Pick up your pencils."
"Hold your breath" says the dawn "Ready to drown in sunlight?"
"All the others are ready" my parents are in a rush. "Have you gotten your bags?"
"Here it comes." trains are fast and full of hope "Are you ready?"
"I think I'm ready." now the voice is shaken and alone. "Its my first time."
"You're ready?" a child is a big commitment. "We weren't ready for you."
And you think that you're not ready and never have been ready but no one was really asking.
"Ready or not" life has no pity for children. "Here I come"
