A Mother's Note on the First Day of Kindergarten

For you, my girl, I wish the world
For fun and laughter, joy and excitement
For your first day to be so wonderful you can't wait to go back.

I wish you a table with your name
I wish you paper and pencils
Crayons and paste
And fun pages to color and share.

I wish you blocks and Lego's
Small toys
Cars and trains

I wish you a window to look out on the world
A soft spoken teacher with a smile heard round the world
I wish you friends, boys and girls to make you giggle and smile
A cubby hole and hook for your bookbag and books.

I wish you good food at lunch time
Have fun going through the line
And a buddy to sit with every day,every time.

I wish you books and lots of reading
Some computer time too
And learning to write me a note and sign it "I Love You!"

It's your first day of kindergarten
And we are so proud and so sad
Have fun, be good
And continue to love to learn

My darling girl
GO
And make the best of your world.
