YOUR CHILDS FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL.......... To all you mummys & daddys who have little ones starting school next week....tissues at the ready? Dear Teacher, I know youre rather busy First day back, theres just no time A whole new class of little ones And this one here is mine Im sure you have things covered And have done this lots before But my boy is very little He hasnt long turned four In his uniform this morning He looked so tall and steady But now beside your great big school I’m not quite sure he’s ready Do you help them eat their lunch? Are you quick to soothe their fears? And if he falls and hurts his knee Will someone dry his tears? And what if no-one plays with him? What if someone’s mean? What if two kids have a fight And he’s caught in between? You’re right, I have to leave now It’s time for him to go I’m sure he’ll learn so much from you Things that I don’t know Yes, I’m sure they settle quickly That he’s fine now without me I know he has to go to school It’s just so fast, you see It seems like just a blink ago I first held him in my arms It’s been my job to love, to teach To keep him safe from harm So, when I wave goodbye in a moment And he turns to walk inside Forgive me if I crumple Into tears of loss and pride I know as I give him one more kiss And watch him walk away, That he’ll never again be wholly mine As he was before today.
