Kindergarten

How can this day really be here?

Somehow it just doesn't seem fair.

Just yesterday I was holding you tight

In that hospital room rocking chair.

I knew right away things were different.

My swelling heart would not be the same.

I promised to love and protect you.

Your dad and I gave you a name.

You are growing so fast and so wonderfully.

God has blessed you with so many gifts.

And now as you move on to school days

I can hardly imagine the shift.

I am so proud of you my sweet child.

You are one in a million indeed.

And I pray that these five years together

Have in your heart planted the seed.

I pray that you will be a light to the world.

To your peers that you'll always be kind.

I pray that you'll learn and develop, and grow

In your heart and your spirit, and mind.

And if you have hard days and feel all alone

Just know that I'll always be here.

I will welcome you home with a smile and a hug

And a loving and listening ear.

So go to school knowing you're loved, Child

By your Mama and so many more.

And look forth with joy and excitement.

For so many blessings the Lord has in store.
