Out Into The Big Wide World

I look down below, at those big blue eyes, With comforting words, as he sobbed and cried, Your a big boy now, starting school today! Together with friends, have fun and play. My eyes filled up, tried to hide my emotion, As the children arrived, what a commotion! The teacher looks nice, I calmly said, But all he could do, was shake his head. I waved him goodbye, I felt so bad! My poor little boy, looked so, so sad! After months of tears, he was well settled in, And his usual scowl, replaced with a grin! With new friends made, he's as happy as Larry, Schooldays now, no longer a worry, No more long faces, or feeling glum, The big wide world, can be so much fun! Jayne Davies
