Our Precious Little Ones

Today's piece is dedicated to the Longfellow Elementary Pre-K Students who have a promotion in a few hours toward becoming Kindergarteners in the fall. I am a proud dad of one of those students, Sihasin. Excited to hear what the children have prepared for us at the promotion ceremony.

The class showing off their garden last week.

Our precious little ones,

Today you make it to the big time (Kindergarten!)

May you continue to play nicely with others in the sandbox.

May you continue to play, teaching us older ones who have forgotten how to do so.

May you continue to play.

Our precious little ones,

May you continue to learn how to live for and with others.

May you continue to paint outside of the lines to your heart’s content, never letting others constrain your creativity and vision.

 

Our precious little ones,

Continue to sprout toward the sky while digging roots deep and resilient

Continue to

    Grow goodness

            Seed joy

                    Nourish us all.

 

Continue on.

        Continue up.

                Continue bringing smiles and happiness to the world.

 

And one last thing, just for us parents.

Please, please, please: Promise to never grow up, okay?
