'Twas the night before first grade
and definately no tears.
My boy is too excited
to have any fears!
But Mom's another story
Her heart is so sad.
Sending her boy off for the day
just somehow seems bad!
But just as last year
we'll cover our boy in prayer.
And remind him of the importance
of the Full Armor to wear.
His pencils are sharpened
His clothes clean and pressed
In bed early tonight
For his much-needed rest.
The lunch is all packed
the thermos is chillin
'cause I need to ensure
that his belly gets a fillin'!
Met his new Teacher
Ms. Nava's her name.
Our impression is that
she'll be anything but lame!
She said bring an item
on the first day of school
to tell us something about you
and what makes you cool.
Planes and jets are his thing
So the collage is all packed
showing Brayden's day in Arkansas
with the Flying Razorbacks!
His desk is in front
and she showed us his "locker"
And, lo, what else??
Tomorrow also starts SOCCER!!
Its his first season playing
and we're really pumped.
Tonight we bought shin guards
to prevent any bumps!
Thanks to cousin, Leight
we have cleats looking like sharks.
We're hoping that Brayden runs
so fast that there's sparks!
As you can rightly see
its a BIG day here.
You can be sure that for Mom
there will be a few tears.
Her boy's growing up
He'll be off to a good start.
And he'll never be further
than in Momma's heart.
"We love you, Brayden Boy!"
we'll yell as the bus pulls away.
And they'll be a pack of girls
waiting at the end of the day!
To see their big brother
and hear of new memories made
On his first day of school
in the First Grade!
