Shy Shy’s First Day

Hair just so in her pretty pig tails
Don’t you know
“How do I look, daddy?”
Drips from her lips

New dress so sharp
Brand new stiff before the first washing
Big shy sly grin on her face
Prancing in the office
Impatient for the beginning

Backpack with snack and juice
Ready to start her day
Fruit loops in her tummy
Smile for the camera,
Memorialized

We march down the street
She with her mommy
Big sissy on her own
Me with her little sister
Kindergarten awaits
On her first day.
Hurry up light.
