His smile says he’s ready. His green eyes do agree.
Ten long weeks of summer have all but disappeared
Exactly as we’d hoped for and precisely as we feared.
Our littlest is growing, not quite as little these last days.
Though he is amazingly ready for new kindergarten ways.
His smile says he’s ready. His green eyes do agree.
And though we are excited, there is a bit of sad debris.
It’s not that we aren’t happy; we know he’ll be a star.
He’s a lion of a learner and that’s sure to take him far.
He writes his name, knows his math; he tells time and he reads.
And he has an awesome teacher who will understand his needs.
We are sending him to learn things that are way out of our reach.
A second tongue that Cindy nor I would be able to teach.
Exactly like our daughter, he will soon be speaking Spanish;
Roll his tongue and twirl his R’s as his accent starts to vanish.
YES we are excited, and though our hearts are thrilled
All the agents of nostalgia are slowly getting killed.
Like right now at this moment, Cindy’s by my side.
I’m asking for suggestions as tears begin their downward slide.
Our puppy’s barking louder and pretty soon he’ll be a dog
And we don’t want to live these last few moments in a fog.
Our kids are both in school for good in just a few days more.
We’ll grab the camera, load the car and lock the front house door.
We’ll drop him off and wish him well – into his teacher’s care.
And then we’ll leave the classroom and breathe in some brand new air.
The first book of our story in that second turns its page
To the final when our foursome steps into a brand new age.
