The Snow Ball

The first grade students, two by two, Marched in to our applause, Their dressed-up outfits, top hats, too, Gave all a smiling pause. They danced the twist and cha cha slide, All perfectly rehearsed, Sang “Winter Wonderland” and “Frosty,” Every child well-versed. A touching sweet rendition of “I Am Your Child” brought tears And cotton snowballs tossed aloft Precipitated cheers. We watched our grandson slide and stomp, His brand-new bow tie on And beamed with pride while wondering Where all the years have gone. First grade is halfway over; It’s been wonderful to share Events like these and hopefully, We always will be there.
