I remember the sunshine that morning When I took your little hand in mine. Together we walked those few blocks to school Where you went for the very first time. I remember the unsure look on your face As we entered the classroom door. You tightened your grip on my hand because You'd never been to school before. I smiled at you to show it was okay, And took you to meet your new teacher. She told you it was going to be a great day, But I don't think you really believed her. I gave you a hug, we said our goodbyes, And I walked toward the door to leave. I looked back to see there were tears in your eyes, And you wiped them away with your sleeve. I worried the hours away that first day Wondering how you were getting along. Were you making friends, did you eat your lunch? What if something had gone wrong?

Let kids be kids; just let them be Princesses, pirates; let the bath be the sea! Let them stare at the sky and find animals in the clouds. Let them dance in the rain and sing out loud. Let them dream really big and wish upon a star. Let them feel the wind in their hair from the window of a car. Smell their dandelion bouquet like it's your favorite flower, For they will grow up in what seems like just an hour. Tell them bedtime stories each and every night. Let them sleep in the middle when they awake with fright. Shield them from evil and keep them from danger, But teach them of acts of kindness for complete strangers. Don't hurry them, overschedule them, and make them feel lost, For if this happens it will be you who will pay the cost! Let them build castles, do cartwheels, and find shells in the sand. If they need a little help, then please give them a hand! Let them walk barefoot and the grass tickle their feet, For it's the small things in life...
