My First Day

I felt your hand
get away from me
to say goodbye
to a new world
that began,
seeing sad faces
moistened with tears,
and surrounded by two 
beautiful ladies.
I ignored that world
where my mother
abandoned me for hours.
But over the time
that strange world
was my beginning
of a new life;
My First Day of:
Head Start.
