Hello, my friends, and happy #MummyMonday! Today I am feeling very emotional as I think about my youngest child embarking upon her high school journey.

How did this happen? How is my baby going to High School? I cannot comprehend where the time has gone, so instead I have written a poem for my daughter. This one’s for you, Georgina.

Starting High School – a Poem for my Youngest Child

The day has finally arrived

And I don’t know how to feel

We’ve done this once already

And yet it feels surreal.

—

You’ve always been my baby

My little limpet child

And now you will go on your own

Out into the wild.

—

Maybe I’m being dramatic

Or maybe I’m just being Mum

Your High School journey begins

And we don’t know what’s to come.

—

I know you’ll be happy at school

Just like your older sister

She’ll be there to watch you

And you will no longer miss her.

—

So now we move on with our lives

As you continue to learn and grow

My world is changing with you, my girls

But I’ll always be here, you know.

I’ve Come Over all Emotional

With lots of love to both my girls as you return to school this September.
