I love this song too!Its about friends.A very old song, like back to the 1930s?But its very meaningful, full of emotions.I could think back when I was in K2, when I first entered Happy Kids Childcare, I was totally alone.I played by myself and stared at the unfamiliar corners.The girls took a look at me and went on playing on their own.Being only six, I don't think I could really understand, but I felt lonely and had no courage to go up to the girls and play with them.Being six, genders did not matter.But I was afraid to go to the boys too.I then remember that there was a boy named Darren who came up to me and showed me the toys and schedule of the childcare.I remembered him as a very kind little tanned boy.After I became more familiar to the surroundings and had built enough courage to join the girls, he went back to his boy 'gang'.I didn't really notice him much after that.
But because of primary school, I began to think back a lot.Its was the first act of kindness.He was more than just a very kind little tanned boy.Far more than that.He had helped and slipped away into the background without saying much.Young as he might be, he had done something that I would be too afraid to do so.
What star might have been shining from the north pole?
I thought I could only read such people up in stories.But in reality, I was wrong.In primary school, things might have been far from ok.That gave me the time to think a lot.Compared to many, Darren had done it all.I wish I could learn from him. Now, I realise that I had a very interesting past.A past filled with loneliness and quiet.A past filled with fingers pointing and erasers shooting.I had no loyal friends in primary school at all.Most treated me like a rolling pin.That was what made my past interesting.VERY INTERESTING.I don't know why, my friends were kind, but suddenly, they turned vicious.Out of sudden.I love my kind frinds but I hated my vicous friends.But what I liked in primary school was that I was able to think a lot and reflect.I did loads of self-thinking in primary school.I don't reckon I will do much now.I can just think along with my friends.We can all think and draw together.I think at night mostly, all to myself.We can talk about our feelings easily.Thats why I like my road.They will know and understand.
Thinking back now, I guess I'm proud of my past.Its like,Yay!I lived it all.It wasn't nice when it happened to me,especially when I care a whole lot, but its nice when I thought of myself living though it.Its like a school story come true.Bullying and happiness and all.I wish I had enough courage one day and shout back or help others.Give up my seat in the MRT and all. I'm sure Darren would have done that.I seriously admire his courage.He was more than a kind little tanned boy.
