The doorway to new beginnings
Opening, beckoning, inviting
A step into the world of education.
The first day of school…
For young and old alike
Can be so totally different
Yet be met with anticipation.
The first day of school…
For the kindergartener
The beginning of a new journey
The future of a new generation.
The first day of school…
For the senior in high school
Coming around for the final lap
The goal being graduation.
The first day of school…
For the doting parents
Anxious moments throughout the day
Caused by first time separation.
The first day of school…
For the harried mother
A perfect opportunity
For some rest and relaxation.
The first day of school…
For the home school mom
Reading, writing, and arithmetic
Plus additional supplication.
The first day of school…
For all the teachers
A sea of new faces to learn
A challenge mingled with frustration.
The first day of school…
For the principal
A heavy responsibility
Many things needing authorization.
The first day of school…
For the bus driver
A supplement for his income
As he provides the transportation.
The first day of school…
For everyone involved
Can be totally chaotic
Without good communication.
The first day of school…
For the Lord up above
A golden opportunity
For some grace manifestation.
