Twas the night before Kindergarten....(continued)

In the morning it came -
School starts today!
Would the teacher be nice?
Would she still get to play?

Her face was all washed,
Her teeth were brushed white,
She posed for her picture,
With eyes sparkling bright!



She grabbed her backpack
And hopped into the car
And dashed off to the school,
Good thing it's not far!

She let go of mommy's hand
And then walked down the hall
And heard mommy promise
That she would not bawl!


The teacher then greeted
Each one with a smile
And invited the students
To stay for awhile.



The room was all filled
With books, colors and toys,
Such wonderful things
For all girls and boys!

Addison was playing
And as happy could be,
When she happened to look
And see her mommy,

And what to her wondering
Eyes should appear
But a very sad mommy
Who was holding back tears!
Her nose - so sniffy,
Her eyes - red and wet!
This was the saddest goodbye
Addison had ever seen yet!

She ran to her mommy
On the magical rug
And then sent her away
After one final hug!

She waved to her mom
From the door of the school,
"Don't cry Mommy!
Kindergarten is COOL!"
