First Day Of School
The girl with asters
in vibrant colors,
held like a torch.
In a new dress,
in shiny black shoes
and short white socks,
with a mountain of
a backpack,
she is standing tall
on her home's porch.
Tears in her parents' eyes
cause a puzzled look in hers.
The first day of school
reels in vivid images of times
from a memory pool,
harbored in their own
heart and head,
and brings the anticipation
of the unknown
to the long days ahead.
