are replaced with new school clothes and a bewildered morning stare.
Bath, breakfast, and backpack and out the door they file,
as mom laughs, snaps pictures, and smiles all the while.
She taxis to school, as this chapter gets off the ground
somberly gazing out her window without uttering a sound.
"Mommy's really going to leave me here at this place?",
she moans to herself, as she covers her face.
Some lady has opened my door... I guess it's time to go?
I see other kids going inside, maybe I'll just go with the flow.
Choking back tears and trying to be brave
Mommy gives me a smile and really happy wave.
She would not leave me here unless I was ok..
These people are talking to me. What do I say?
Numbers, and colors, and crisp number twos,
snacks, free play, and a long afternoon snooze.
Finally, the day is over and Mom is on her way,
This has been the very longest, but the very best day.
