Added to my faves. Even though my dd is now a junior in high school, I just found my pics of her first day of kindergarten and can't wait to scrap them! Beautiful poem. I'm not lifting it in case it's your work. :)
For Scrap you favorite Poem Challenge January 08 Pics of dd on her first day of Kindergarten. I found this poem when making the memory books for her preschool class - at the time I adjusted the words to fit her preschool, but still love it as a first day of K poem.
Poem: She started school this morning, and she seemed so very small. As I walked there beside her In the Kindergarten hall. And as she took her place beside the others in the class, I realized how all too soon those first few years can pass. Remembering, I saw her as she first learned how to walk. The words that we alone made out when she began to talk. This little girl so much absorbed in learning how to write. It seems as though she must have grown to girlhood overnight. My eyes were blurred but hastily I brushed the tears away Lest by some word or sign of mine I mar her first big day Oh how I longed to stay with her and keep her by the hand To lead her through the places that she couldn't understand. And something closely kin to fear was mingled with my pride. I knew she would no longer be a baby by my side. But she must have her chance to live, to work her problems out, The privilege to grow and learn what life is all about. And I must share my little girl with friends and work and play; She's not a baby anymore -- She's in Kindergarten today.
