From tummies to laps, from crawls to jumping jacks...Time just flies with little ones. Then comes the day, when these naughty champs have to begin their journey called life. First step: The 'Preschool', after which they won't be wholly ours. Beginning of school years brings a huge relief to mum's life but the first day of separation @ school is the heaviest for mom and child both. Here, I have tried to pen a poem which explains the emotions of a mother on the very first day of preschool.
A Mother's First Day @ School
In new uniform
Let me behold this sight.
My little one
Is grown up now
Then why is this fright?
Big school,
Big classrooms,
Much bigger than her height.
Am I ready?
Is she ready?
For life's new flight.
Racing heart,
Welled up eyes,
That tiny wrist held tight.
Pecked, Hugged,
"I will be outside"
Oops! I just lied.
Quiet home,
Hushed toys,
And so is my appetite.
Fidgety, Jittery
Couple of hours,
Hope all is alright.
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Let me rush to,
Magical school upright.
Time has come,
To see again,
My little ray of light.
Racing heart
Welled up eyes,
Come let me hold 'you' tight.
Don't cry
My bundle of joy
Oh my child! Shine bright✨
