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!

  2. Hello Karie, Thank you for visiting me today for White wednesday.
    It is a little sad when the children grow up so quick, our grandchildren are too. Here in Australia they don't break for holidays until the 1st October, so a little while to go yet.xx enjoy the peace and quiet for a while
