Starting School

She attended school orientation

And she seemed so small

As I walked beside her

As she sat on the little chair in the class

I realized how soon

Those first few years can pass

Remembering how she first learned to walk

The words that we tried to figure out

When she began to talk

This little girl had absorbed so much

It seems as though she has grown

So much overnight

And I must share, my little girl

With friends and work and play;

You are not a baby anymore –

Cause you are starting school
