First Day

Well, it’s finally here Seems so funny I should say finally Cause to me, I can’t believe it’s time Though I know for you it’s been so hard to wait But finally the wait is over And today is your first day of school This morning you awoke before I And I could see the excitement in your eyes For once I didn’t have to prod To get you dressed brush your teeth and hair For once it was me moving much too slow As I walked you down to the bus Watched your smile as you stepped on I couldn’t help but cry And think how silly it must’ve looked For tears to be running down a grown mans face As I watched the bus roll away I started thinking about your day And all the new things you’d get to do Your first lunch, your first recess Your first venture without me into a brand new world As the day went on it gave me time to think My God, you’re growing up!!! Soon you’ll be on your own With a family, a house, and all too soon you’ll… But then the bus brought you home The grin on your face as you came running The way we fell over when you jumped into my arms The joy of your voice telling about your day All reminded me that, hey, we have so much time Until you grow up, so much to share along the way And that today was only Your first day NOTE*** This is from my CD A Father’s Love Letters To listen to the CD please visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mikehamill
