The First Day

He woke up this morning with joy in his eyes
Today was the day that would be filled with surprise.

He ate his breakfast and brushed his teeth
He dressed himself for new friends he would soon meet.

He arrived with excitement and a skip in his step
Walking beside his Daddy, this day we would never forget.

He opened the door and walked down the hall
Their were lots of other people and he seemed so small.

He sat in his chair ready for the day
He looked and he smiled, I knew it was okay.

He stayed in the room as we walked out of sight
We knew this was best and everything would be all right.

He didn’t know that today is the day he’s not a baby anymore
Today is the day he started Kindergarten when he walked out the door.


Can't believe that Matthew started Kindergarten today. He did great, he was so excited to go in his room. I didn't shed a tear or have a lump in my throat. Michael says I have a heart of stone. I think that it helped that he was so eager to go. I had anticipated on being a little teary eyed, but nothing. I did come home and write a poem, not sure why, but it just happened. He's only going 1/2 days so he was upset that he didn't get to stay and eat lunch with his new friends. Day one down, 187 more to go.
