My little boy starts school today, I know you'll be just fine. But still I brush the tears away, For you're no longer mine. Your teacher now will share your day, Your nights you'll spend with me, You seem so young to be away From your own family. It seems like only yesterday We waited for your birth. And now you're starting on your way To be a man of worth. My days will now be empty, I'll wonder how you are? I'll wait for your return to me With papers marked with stars. You'll tell me how your day has been, I'll say I missed you so, I'll hear about your new made friends. I know I must let go... Yes, my little boy starts school today, I know you'll be just fine. And as I brush the tears away, I'm very glad you're mine! |

LTiuch~ Makes me go back to those days when each of them started on their treks through life ... Lovely thoughts. Thanks for sharing from one mom's heart to another. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Wow, I am having a hard time typing with the tears clouding up my eyes! My little one turns four next week...and all I can think about is that this is my last year that I will have him to myself! This poem really touched my heart, it is wonderful! You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore |

Boy, does this bring back the memories of sending them off on that first day. Such a touching poem, written as only a loving Mom could. Bonnie |

Thank you for your responses. There have been several goodbyes since this first, but that seems to be the most poignant one. Thanks again, your kind words are appreciated. Linda |
