bonnie's song

rooster crows
off to work
starbucks, please,
to stay alert
greet the students
at 8:05
it's another day for bonnie
at grant high

ten great kids
ten wheelchairs
bonnie gives
the best of care
with a heart as big
as the open sky
it's another day for bonnie
at grant high

she makes sure that they're clean
she makes sure that they're fed
she makes sure that they're safe
and she counts on david's head

with paints and paper
and elmer's glue
and colors yellow
red and blue
the kids make art
under her watchful eye
it's another day for bonnie 
at grant high

with words and a gentle touch
(sometimes with latex gloves)
with bonnie by their side
the kids know that they're loved

3:05
end of day
some rough parts
but it's okay
students on the bus
she waves goodbye
it's another day for bonnie
at grant high
it's another day for bonnie
at grant high
