The End of an Era

This is a poem I wrote on May 24, 2010. I wrote it on the eve of my youngest child finishing preschool; as I wrote it, I was looking ahead to her moving on to kindergarten in the fall.


The end of an era has finally  come
And a new phase has begun
No more babies, toddlers, or preschoolers around this place
Now I only see a school-age face


My "baby" is no longer helpless and small
She's now able to stand tall
She's looking forward to all of the challenges ahead
And this is where everything has led
