My little girl is a big girl now
With no frown across her brow
As she strode confidently up the ramp
Not so little feet going stamp stamp stamp
She had her coat and backpack too
Spare clothes in case she missed the loo
Ready to play and have lots of fun
Outside too regardless of no sun
Making new friends with other girls and boys
Sharing smiles, snacks and sometimes toys
Mum's the only nervous wreck
Pacing footsteps worn out the deck
Got there early to pick her up with glee
She was, of course, super pleased to see me
Had a good time, did really well
Already ready for tomorrow's bell
Think she'll be tired later I'm sure
Rest now before we're back out the door
Got to pick up big brother at three
Then drag 'em all home for some tea
It feels like it's gone in a sparkly whirl
Day one done for my nursery girl
