Kindergarten
The first day
Seeing new faces
A new chapter in your life begins
With all of its uncertainties
All standing four feet tall
With your big backpack and lunch box
Anxiously waiting by yourself
When someone catches your eye
Everyone becomes friends
No popularity contest here
Learning to be kind to others
Sharing on the play ground
Learning to laugh
Singing through the day
Having a big smile on your face
Not wanting to leave
No judging with looks
Or any bad influences
Or society telling you to believe and act a certain way
We all are the same
And everyone can play the game
Where everyone comes together
Despite their different skin color
Back when it was your first day
Where everyone was the same
Where hands would join
And everyone was friends
And everything was easier
Where this was the place where everything was better and everything was safe
As we send our young children to the world
Who don't know any different
Where being yourself is the hardest thing someone can face
In this stereotypical world
And here in Kindergarten
Is just the beginning
To know that this will all change
And this was the place where everything was better and everything was safe
