moving right along...

today

was my very

last...

.

high school

freshman orientation

the last time

 i will walk

 the halls of the school

with my child 

new schedule in hand

searching for rooms

trying to figure out

how to get

 from one wing

to the other

in the allotted time frame

that task may be harder

for this last child

the halls are filled

during class change

with girls

i expect that might make

for some tardy slips

the smiles he gets

and gives

are worth it all

this kid enjoys

life and for that

i am grateful

and living

 my last high school

experience

through his twinkling eyes
