Off To School


off to school…
what a grand thing
out from mama’s sheltering wing.

off to school…
out the door
home doesn’t matter anymore.

off to school…
with her friends
waiting the next when this day ends.

off to school…
teacher new
“Mom, she’s so much nicer than you.”

off to school…
big girl shoes
mama’s home now cryin’ the blues.

  1. I think I will forever comment on your talent.

    Treasure these days, the happiness & the hardness in them. No matter what, wrap them up in your heart & treasure them.

  3. I haven't experienced Mom's side of the first day of school but I still remember the little girl's side. I wonder if there's any higher pedestal than that of a first grade teacher.
