Pre-School Graduation

We weren't privy to Part I (Just parents were invited) But Part II was arranged so No one extra would feel slighted. The children came up to the stage In pairs as every teacher Announced their names and what They'd like to be, a charming feature. From astronaut to ninja, Princess, baseball player, vet, Even architect (our Henry), Most will change their minds, I'd bet. But you never know exactly what The future holds in store. Will Henry's blueprints be the ones We've all been waiting for? That crossed my mind and then the children Sang a little tune And somehow pre-school's over... Just a little bit too soon.

Absolutely delightful, Ilene...I remember all four of my kids' pre-school graduations. They, along with the kindergarten graduations, are among my fondest memories. So cute and precious are both the graduations and the graduates. Thanks for the touching poem and the memories. :) gw

aww I am sure there were a few tears seeing the little ones move on to the next stage of their life and smiles at their chosen path in life - I hope I am still around to hear tales of Henry achieving his ambition:-) hugs jan xx
