First Day of School

Today is the first day of school.  

I wonder who I will meet. I hope
my teacher is nice and assigns me 
a comfortable seat.  

I wonder if the other kids are as
nervous as I; but more importantly,
we become friends, and that they 
are kind.  

So easy to make fun of others' faults;
much harder to accept them for who 
they are; differences and all.

Can't wait to share all they teach us, 
and eat that yummy lunch right after
recess.  

When Mom comes to pick me up; I
will tell her what I learned...

...and the many adventures I have had; 
like the extra cookie I snuck 
during lunchtime, that I placed 
in my bag.  

Can't wait to go back tomorrow but for
now...I'm happy to be home.

Watch cartoons, play with my brother...
just enjoy my family.  

Tonight, I'll take a bubble bath 
with lots of foam.  

It's great to be a kid!
