First Day of School
The first day of school
Can be hard for Mom and Dad.
Part of you feels excited,
The other part feels sad.
For many years you’ve held their hand
And have been their loving guide.
Now you know the time has come
To leave them by my side.
But it is only for a little while,
As your child will learn and grow.
And at the end of every day
They will share with you all they know.
So as you walk away
Don’t worry anymore.
I’ll take care of your little one
When you leave them at my door.
 
From Ms. Hartnett
