Twas the night before I send two
And my heart is aching
Second Grade and kindergarten??
It just may be breaking!
I am not a Momma
who cheers at The Stop
I'm not looking forward to quiet
Nor wanting to go shop
My kids on the other hand
are bursting at the seams
To bed they went
Having school-filled dreams
But the tears I shed
are not all in fear
as they are attending
a Christian school this year
Their backpacks are ready
their lunchboxes packed
I've even included
their mid-morning snack
A skirt and pink top
with matching socks and brown shoes
A red plaid shirt and jeans
colored dark denim blue
It is hard to believe
they're getting this big
I know all too soon
they'll be learning Trig
For now I am busy
with schedules and soccer games
piano and homework
and learning friends' names
Momma's a second-hand learner
as we all journey this path
learning all about God's love
and His holy wrath
Praising His Name
and commiting to heart
His Word and Commandments
praying never to part
So may this new journey
be one full of cheer
We're all trusting God
For a fantastic school year!
