Smiling to think of all the post 1st day conversations to be had later today! Just heard the school bus pick up our teeny tiny 5-yr-old neighbor, who was quite uncertain as of last night. Made me remember to dig up an old prayer I found about 5 yrs ago:
Dear God, please bless our little girl
She’s starting school today;
She’s half afraid, yet wants to go,
And yet she wants to stay.
Protect her, Lord, and keep her safe,
And still that trembling lip.
And shield her from all other eyes
In case a tear should slip.
And help her make new little friends;
Be brave throughout the day.
And have her teacher understand
Her gentle little ways.
Oh Lord, please bless our little girl
And calm those anxious fears;
She is so precious and so young
Just a few short tender years.
