Twas the Morning of 3rd Grade

Twas the Morning of 3rd Grade by Bobbi Jo Cooper Kleckner

Twas the morning of 3rd Grade,
the first day of school,
we woke up and got dressed,
and looked pretty cool!
For breakfast were waffles,
and milk in our cup,
then off to brush our teeth,
times almost up!
Time to pack lunches,
and pick out our snacks,
then off to take pictures,
and grab our back packs!
And off to our school,
we left in a blur,
I love you's and big hugs,
The emotions did stir!
The Kiss And Go Line,
drop off seemed too fast,
Just wanted to freeze it,
make this moment last!
They dashed off towards school
Our third graders twins
A bit nervous but excited
on their faces grins!
The drive back home,
the moment it starts,
the bittersweet feeling,
that grows in my heart.
So proud of my young men,
and as they day goes,
I love and miss them,
I pray that they know.
No matter what age,
No matter how old,
I'll cherish these moments,
my hearts treasure to hold!
