Sprout Your Wings and Fly

This is a poem I wrote on September 7, 2009. I wrote this poem a couple of days before my youngest child started going to preschool.


You're growing up so fast. baby girl
You're getting ready to head out into the world
Right now, you're about to start preschool
But before we know it, mom and dad will no longer be "cool"


And I'm trying so hard not to cry
But I know that you're going to sprout your wings and fly
And though your schooling has just begun
I know that you'll be making lots of new friends and having fun
