I can't believe
it's my first day of school.
Thanks for the new clothes Mom,
I think they're so cool.
Get into the car
excited with crazy nerves,
head down the street
and around a few curves.
Parked outside,
looking around
at all of those kids
going school ward bound.
Out of the car
Mom and I jump,
a little bit scared,
in my throat there's a lump.
Mom grabs my bag
and takes my hand,
today is finally the day
in the schoolyard I stand.
We're inside the classroom,
I take off my shoes
and put on my new ones,
they have on them blues clues.
Mom gives me a big hug
with a tear in her eye,
"Have a good day honey,
I love you, good-bye.
I'll see you after school,
make sure you take care.
When I pick you up
I'll be standing right there."
She points to a clock
hanging on the wall
directly outside
of the door in the hall.
One more hug
and a quick little kiss,
this is my first day of school,
something I would never miss.
