It only feels like yesterday, a tiny baby laid on my chest,
All cuddled up under a cosy blanket where you would snooze and I would rest,
They told me time would fly by fast but back then I didn't see,
How quickly you would grow to you and soon be apart from me.
Your shoes are picked and really shiny ready for you to wear,
We've practiced all the different ways you want to wear your hair,
Your uniform looks big on you and when it's on you feel so proud,
As you walk into the classroom I'll be waving amongst the crowd.
I feel quite sad about this change but that's something you'll never see,
I want you to feel so confident when you're there away from me,
I'll miss our lazy mornings where you climb into my bed,
When we have no other plans then reading stories we've already read.
Remember you're strong and super brave, be kind to all your friends,
Sometimes you'll miss your mummies but we'll be there when the school day ends.
Learn it all, smile a lot and most of all have fun,
I'm always right behind you, your forever loving mum 💖
