First Day of Daycare

Elias:

I wonder what you are doing right now,

And if everyone is treating you kind.

I hope there is a special person,

A nice friend you can find.

I wonder if your teacher knows

Just how special you are to me.

And if the brightness of your heart

Is something she can see.

I wonder if you are thinking of me,

And if you need a hug.

I already miss the sound of your voice

And how you give my finger a tug.

I wonder if you could possibly understand

How hard it is for me to let you grow

On this day know that my heart breaks

For this is the first step in letting my baby go.
