To Shanna
Going into First Grade
Going into First Grade
Blue skies
Thoughts of you
Wasn't it yesterday you were holding your tiny hand out to catch the blossoms as they fell from the tree
Pink blossoms falling under blue skies
And now I picture you
At your own little desk
Braving the world of first grade
Encountering hurts and fun on the very same day
Wasn't it only yesterday that green was geen and acorns were hookcorns, your lollipop was op a dop and when you went swimming you always wore your swimming "west"..
Wasn't it only yesterday
You kissed me with angel lips
Excitedly showing me your new lighted sneakers
That glowed as you walked in the dark..
When I told you I liked them you said, "Kank you Gigi!!!"
And now you are concentrating hard
On learning the ways of the world
As your world becomes so much bigger
my world becomes so much smaller
And I think of you under the same blue sky
And wish you rainbows that never end.
