Back to School
By Starlette Howard
Today I hurry off to school,
To work and learn and play.
I'm in a brand new grade this year.
What a happy day!

Most of the summer we talked about it
I thought how it might be
When my daughter went off to school
And my time would then be free.

Then it was time to shop for school clothes
Amazed at how she's grown!
And when she showed me what she wanted
I was glad she's too little to choose her own.

She's off on a bright new adventure
As she starts first grade this year.
I hope, for her, that it's great fun
Yet still, I shed a tear . . .

We raised them from the cradle
With all the time and love we know . . .
We took the time to hold them close
God brings the times for letting go . . .

The Night Before School
T'was the night before school started
When all through the town
The parents were cheering,
It was a riotous sound!

By eight the kids were washed
and tucked into bed,
When memories of homework
Filled them with dread.

New pencils, new folders,
new notebooks, too;
New teachers, new friends,
their anxiety grew.

The parents just giggled
when they learned of this fright
And shouted upstairs,
"Go to bed, go to bed!
It's a school night!"

Partners
I dreamed I stood in a studio,
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a child's mind,
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher; the tools used,
Were books and music and art.
One, a parent with guiding hands,
A gentle and loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled,
With a touch both deft and skilled.
The parent labored side by side,
And all the values filled.
And when at last their task was done,
They looked at what they'd wrought.
The beautiful shape of the precious child,
Could neither be sold nor bought.
And each agreed it would have failed,
If one had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school,
And behind the teacher, home.

I've worked with your flower
and helped it to grow.
I'm returning it now,
But I want you to know,
This flower is precious;
As dear as can be,
Love, take care of it,
And you will see
A bright new bloom with
Everyday.
It grew and blossomed
In such a wonderful way-
In September, just a bud;
January, a bloom.
Now a lovely blossom-
Remember, this flower,
As dear as can be-
Though rightly yours,
Part will always belong to me.

The alarm clock rings, you open your eyes
The day begins, you have to rise.
Brush your teeth, comb your hair.
Brand new things for you to wear
Look both ways as you cross the street,
Get on the bus and find a seat.
Today is the day that school begins,
You can hardly wait to meet your friends!

Kindergarten
I'm so excited kindergarten is here,
I know it will be a great year.
I'm a big kid now and I'm on my way,
To board the bus for my very first day.
My teachers are there waiting for me,
Right at the door is where they will be.
I'll make lots of friends and have some fun,
And before you know it, the day will be done.

The Happiest Child
I'm the happiest child alive
I had a birthday, now I'm five.
So to the big school I can go,
To learn all the things I need to know!

School Days
By Crystal Bowman
On Monday, I wish I could watch T.V.,
But I have to go to school.
On Tuesday, I'd love to swim in the sea,
But I have to go to school.
On Wednesday, I'd like to ride my bike,
But I have to go to school.
On Thursday, I wish I could go for a hike,
But I have to go to school.
On Friday, I'd love to go to the zoo,
But I have to go to school.
On Saturday, there's not a thing to do,
I wish I could go to school.

Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round
As I travel through the town
To (school name) school I'm on my way,
I'm learning more and more each day

Sewing
Button, button - whose got the button?
A family is a patchwork of love.
A family stitched together with lov seldom unravels.
This family is stitched together with love
Friendships are sewn one stitch at a time.
Homespun whimsies
In the crazy quilt of live, I'm glad you're in my block of friends.
Life is a patchwork of friends
Memories are Stitched with Love
One who sleeps under a quilt is comforted by love.
A Patchwork of Dreams
A quilt is a blanket of LOVE.
A quilt is something you make to keep someone you love WARM.
Quilts are like friends - a great source of comfort.
Sew glad we're friends!
A Stitch In Time
Thanks "sew" much

"This album is a patchwork quilt,
With memories sewn throughout
Each picture weaves a story
That tells what we're about
Each page is pieced together
With moments from our past.
And like a quilt of fabric,
These memories will last."
- by Monica Matheny

"Life is like a patchwork
Make it precious day by day
Have a pattern for your life
Adding fun along the way!"

"And what is life?
A crazy quilt;
Sorrow and joy,
and grace and guilt,
With here and there
a square of blue
For some old happiness
we knew--"
Douglas Afallock, "A Crazy Quilt"

"Adventures are more fun with two." (Pooh)
All for one and one for all
A brother is a special friend
Brotherly Love
Brothers are Best
Brothers make the best friends
Double Trouble
Forever my brother, Always my friend.
It's so much better with two
Oh Brother!
Sisters make the best friends
Sisters together heart to heart

They fight like siblings everywhere.
I used to reprimand,
But now I let them settle it;
I've come to understand.
No matter how loud they might get,
When "push" might come to "shove,"
My oldest two will soon show me
How deep and true is love.
For though these two might argue and
Each claim the other's "mean,"
Nobody else had better try
To ever come between.
They fuss like cats and dogs, but then,
They soon forget who's right,
If someone hurts just one of them,
They'll instantly unite.
How wonderful is loyalty
That never ever ends;
For certain they both know inside
That they're forever friends.

Little Sister
By Crystal Bowman
I have a little sister
with curly golden hair.
I like to read her stories
And rock her in the chair.
She's so much fun to play with
She's small and cute and funny.
She loves her teddy bear,
and her furry, yellow bunny.
I love my little sister.
I'm proud to be her brother
But when she has dirty pants
I bring her to my mother.

Sisters by chance, Friends by choice.

The Competitor's Creed
The contest lasts for moments
though the training's taken years.
It wasn't the winning alone
that was worth the work and tears.
The applause will be forgotten,
the prize misplaced.
But the long, hard hours of practice
will never be a waste!
For in trying to win you build a skill;
you learn that winning depends on will.
You never grow by how much you win,
you only grow by how much you put in.
So in any new challenge you've just begun,
put forth your best and you've already won!

Golf
A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work
GOLF (use a ball for the 'o'),
Golf is a game in which you yell FORE, shoot six, and write down five.
Golf is a good walk spoiled. (Mark Twain)
If it goes right, it's a slice, If it goes left, it's a hook, If it goes straight, it's a MIRACLE!
If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.
