First Day of School  My baby started school today A day so long awaited To see her little face grown up She was incredibly elated! This day she's waited for many a year To have a place of her own Not one to share with li'l sis But one to show she'd grown A look of worry came over her face As I turned to say goodbye Made my heart bleed to see her fear Although I knew just why Suddenly not sure of the place she is in It's all so new to her Home is the only place she's known Now that seems only a blur I gave a look of reassurance Hoping she would take it Her little smile said she'd be okay That she was going to make it My baby started school today Not sure if mommy would survive The truth that her little girl is growing up It's beautiful to watch her thrive So on this day so big to you I've sent a little prayer My little girl you'll always be No matter when or how or where! For my sweet Stevie on her first day of school! Thanks Vicky for your help on the picture...much appreciated!

Cindi~ A memory-in-the-making With one more step she's taking Snapshots of the heart in aware In an album of treasured moments to share~ As you already know ... this mommy's heart does a flip over these nostalgic little memory pieces. Thank you for sharing, Cindi~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

One of the most overwhelming days of a parents life for sure. I remember when both of my children had their first day of school and I was a bundle of nerves. Mostly on my son because I kept expecting to be called into the office to pick him up. LOL Seriously, this is a wonderful write and you have written it very well. The flow is excellent. Much enjoyed. |

Marge, Thank you, I am going to print a really nice copy of this and put it in her baby book so she will have it as a memory along with the tons of pictures we took yesterday! She is having a blast! Love ya Cindi Mark, I was nervous for her but so excited too! Yes the idea of being called to the principals office has crossed my mind but I think she is having too much fun getting points for behaving! She loves it so far! Thanks for reading! Cindi |
