First Day of School

The bus drove past our house today,
it didn't even slow down.
Cuz the little boy that should be here,
is now wearing his crown.

He had been so excited,
looked forward to that day.
Little did we know,
he wasn't here to stay.

The place he went is better
than anything he'd thought.
And he's learning so much more
than any teacher could have taught.

I see so many photos
of other kids' first day.
My heart breaks as I think
how my sweet boy went away.

I miss him in a way so deep,
and many days I'm sad.
But it makes my heart rejoice
to know his heart is glad.

I'm thankful for the years we had,
though they seemed too short.
I wait for the glorious day
when we'll meet again in Heaven's Court!

I'll love you forever little man!
