The First Day

I gave you a wink and a smile
as you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave 
and know your child must stay.
You've been with him for five years 
                    now
and have been  a loving guide, 
but now, alas, the time has come
to leave him at my side.
Just know that as you drive away 
and tears down your cheeks may 
                     flow
I'll love him as I would my own 
and help him learn and grow.
So please put your mind at ease
and cry those tears no more 
for I will love him and take him in 
when you leave him at my door.
