Just For Today: First Day, 8/29/11

Dear Holy Friends, I know it has been a long time since I've posted any poetry. Kind of makes sense to start posting again as Adam starts school again! It also makes sense that today's poem be about the fact that my baby is now a high school student!   In His Grip, Chandra   First Day He joined us on the porch, looking so tall. But entering the school he looked too small. He got out of the car with strength walked inside, My heart stopped, throat thickened and softly I cried. I've done this three times before beginning the end, But walking around this house quiet is not a friend. It's a bittersweet morning he starts high school today, There's only four years left until he grows away.   ~Chandra Lynn Smith, 8/29/11~
