Its my first day at school. I have just turned 5 years old. Its quite daunting because my mother isn’t here and my grandmother is still asleep. My auntie walks me as far as her school. I walk the rest of the way with an older boy and his sister. A state of hopeless despair.
My mother’s not there,
For my first day at school,
I am not at all prepared,
I am nervous and scared,
To start this day on my own,
I feel so alone,
No mother’s hand to hold,
To comfort my soul,
My heart weeps,
My tears fall,
My mother can’t hear me when I call,
She cant be with me today,
Because she lives,
Over four thousand miles away,
Thinking of my mother,
ON this special day,
Happy mother’s day
