'Twas the Night Before...

'Twas the night before school
And nothing has changed
Mom is a mess
And life's rearranged

Three are heading off
And one stays with mom
Praying it goes smoothly
While all of them are gone

Clothes are pressed
New shoes sit and wait
The new start of the year
And it will be great

Beautiful skirts
and scarves add some fun
Just a few new things
For everyone

Polo shirts and
Plain gray shoes
Trying to steer clear
Of the trendy hues

Lunches to pack
Papers to fill
And just why is
Mom crying still??

The teachers are amazing
Humble as can be
All of them make Jesus
Their top priority

A joyful, servant heart
Makes the principal blessed
Leads by example
For all the rest

We have found at this school
A great family
It is not something
That we take lightly

With grateful hearts
We serve and we learn
Praying lifelong passions for Jesus
Will deeply burn

So while tears at the bus
Will most certainly be there
Smiles and confidence
We will also share

For we are training these ones
In the way in which they should go
Learning that in all areas of life
His presence should show

It will never be easy
For this Momma's heart
Trusting God for amazing things
As this new year starts!
