And the best first...The First Day of School

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR

On the other side of the door
I can be a different me,
As smart and as brave and as funny or strong
As a person could want to be.
There’s nothing too hard for me to do,
There’s no place I can’t explore
Because everything can happen
On the other side of the door.

On the other side of the door
I don’t have to go alone.
If you come, too, we can sail tall ships
And fly where the wind has flown.
And wherever we go, it is almost sure
We’ll find what we’re looking for

Because everything can happen
On the other side of the door.

A brand new beginning for a new year where anything is possible.
Kalin starts High school as a sophmore. He was very excited and a little nervous. Mom was very nervous!! Colton is in 8th grade at the Junior High. Morgan and Mason are in 3rd grade. They are excited about their new teachers.

Yes . . . school is in session
With old friends and new.
The halls have been painted
A robin's egg blue.
The playground, the bullies,
And daily homework
The boy who pulls pig tails
Well. . . He's such a jerk.
My mother's elated
Not one ounce of worry,
She scoots me, and hugs me,
Geeze, "What is the hurry?"
My mother, oh yes, she's a jubilant sight.
"I'll see you at three."
I am going to write.
"But what about breakfast?"
And where is my lunch?
I can't wear pajama's
Least that is my hunch,
My mother, oh yes, she's a jubilant sight.
She's roused me for school
In the middle of night.
