BOO HOO!

First Day of Kindergarten
Author unknown

Everyone has a "first day"
when they feel sad and all alone.
It can be so scary
when you're out on your own.
And I know that a "first day"
can be full of doubts and fears,
But they're full of new beginnings too.
So take my hankie and dry your tears.

You'll find lots of things to do
and you'll probably make new friends.
I promise we'll be together
when the school day ends.

Here comes the teacher now
blow your nose and be brave.
Come on now and wipe your eyes,
this is no way to behave.

Well good morning teacher.
We really must beg your pardon.
No, MOMMY doesn't always act this way,
But it's my first day of...KINDERGARTEN!

I cried when I saw her pictures from Open House but Laughed when I read your poem. That poem is so YOU and Mallory. She's going to take care of you, you know. What a daughter!!!!! Mimi
