Opening doors welcome each child
Fascinating journey begins
Dreams fill with imagination
School days become future’s lynchpin
Strengthening character daily
Teaching life lessons, step-by-step
Entire village backs up each child
Honesty leads every footstep
Molding citizenship’s actions
Interacting with nation’s past
History’s events come alive
Participation built to last
Learning importance of service
Applying every faithful task
Life’s foundation now taking shape
Hands no longer afraid to ask
Displaying acts of leadership
Maturing into country’s best
Actions go far beyond just words
Ready now, to pass every test

Captured segments from the early pages of my journal, provide the energy for this poem. Life’s reflections can come from anywhere, deal with any topic, and occur at any time.
Journal’s reflections speak out
Expressions ready to sprout
True, unconditional love
Hearing praise singing high above
Wise teaching comes from many
Grandparents offer plenty
Life’s happiness embraces
From unexpected places
Art expressed in many ways
Imagination ablaze
Dark, stormy clouds chased away
Rainbow arrives, set to play
Negativity removed
Positivity approved
Passion no longer alive
How will our tomorrow thrive?
Parents watching with delight
Children making day so bright
Finally, returning home
Prized memories always roam
