And all through the house
Everyone was stirring,
None quiet as a mouse.
The baby was restless
in his big boy bed,
while visions of M&Ms
danced in his head.
The middle one Henry
claimed a nightmare,
all under the auspice
to enter Harry Potter's lair.
The big boy David,
all full of nervous sleepless jitter
made Mommy wish
she had a drink and a sitter.
The lunch and backpack were packed
the clothes selected with care,
the breakfast table set
at each little chair.
Everyone finally all settled in bed
and the mama's bags all packed
for the big day ahead,
When what to my wondering ears
did appear?
Another one up,
nervous to start the school year.
This time it was MAMA
who just couldn't sleep,
Nervous for the first boy
to take the big leap.
First grade is big time.
HE'S RIDING THE BUS!
And mama expects him
at school to make a big fuss.
"He'll be fine!" she kept saying,
all night in her head,
while she lay there restless
tossing and turning in bed.
And although they are nervous
and have some first day fear,
Mama will smile as she drives out of the school
and think, "Thank the LAWD it's a new school year!"
