“Visitor’s Pass”
Today I got a visitor’s pass to peer into the activities of young ones
to see my child learn and play
for a glimpse into my darling boy’s circle time.
Today I got a visitor’s pass to experience what my preschooler does each day
from snack time and line up
to putting coats on and cleaning up.
Today I got a visitor’s pass to watch my child learn to recognize letters
write his name and count
to measure with weights and scales.
Today I got a visitor’s pass to watch him fidget in his chair
raise his hand to answer a question about doctors
put on a helmet and pretend to be a knight.
Today I got a visitor’s pass to see my child grow
to be educated to live his life to the fullest
to recognize when to take risks and when to play it safe.
Today I got a visitor’s pass to watch my child learn things that will give him wings
learn reading and writing foundations so he can soar one day
because of his education, to live life to the fullest.
