First day of school poem

It’s the first day of school
’23-’24
And the summer time schedule is here no more.

It’s the first day of school
And the end of summer break
New teachers to meet and new classes to take.

Its the first day of school
Backpacks and new shoes
New Classrooms to find
And good friendships to choose

It’s the first day of school
The kids are nervous excited
Many Parents are extra
And we can hardly hide it.

It’s the first day of school
Lunch box or school lunches
No homework tonight
But paperwork by the bunches

It’s the first day of school
Pencil boxes are glowing
Backpacks are heavy
Supplies lists are growing

It’s the first day of school
Parents hearts are torn
Time is moving too fast
It seems these kids were just born

It’s the first day of school
We ask
Who’s in your classes?
& Gone are the days of hallway passes

It’s the first day of school
Is everyone ready?
We go in prayer
Lord, keep our hearts steady.

It’s the first day of school
179 more
But I can’t wait to hug them
When they come home through that door
