First Day of School

Think back and remember That first day of school. You planned what to wear To ensure you’d look cool. You had your supplies, Pencils sharpened and new, And hoped you’d succeed In your new class debut. You’d gone to bed early, Feared nightmares’ cruel harm, And woke up with butterflies As your alarm. You had a good breakfast And set off, in doubt That your new surroundings Would really work out. Yet most of the time That first day was all right. You conquered your demons, Got over your fright. Each first day we all shared Some nerves as a feature. I know I sure did, Although I was the teacher!
