A New School Year

Today was the beginning of a

New School Year

For my Grandchildren and other

School Children in the School District where I live. .

I always feel nostalgic when a new school years begins.

It bring back so many memories of my own school age years

But most it brings back memories of my children's

I was one of those Mother's who cried on the first day of school

And when they left for college and LDS Mission I sobbed!

I am just a tender person and each milestone in my life

And the lives of my children and now my grandchildren

Causes me to feel a little "blue",
But also filled with joy and happiness.

The School Buses were rolling this morning. .

 Thousands of school age children headed back to school.

I am so grateful for the loving care
And safety that is provided for

The children. . . I know that they are in good hands.

 The neighborhoods were quiet today. . .

But the schools were filled with laughter and chatter

As nervous little ones filled the halls and rooms.

 Isn't it a marvelous thing. . .
The Education of our Children?

So many People are involved and
So much Time and Energy goes into it.

 Yep! Today School Started. .

I wipe a tear or two. . .and then

Move onto the next day and the next.

Good Luck to all you youngsters

From the Senior in High School

To the little Kindergartner. .

May you have an awesome School Year!
