First Day Rush
Written for MLMM Monday Wordle;
the prompt words are shown below.
dashing ~ morning ~ bed ~ forecast ~ always
sighed ~ give ~ neck ~ head ~ warmth ~ laid ~ part
Mom dashing in at morning light,
Clothes laid out from last night.
“Five more minutes,” one sleepyhead sighed,
Warmth still calling from the bedside.
Check the forecast, grab a snack,
And please don’t forget your backpack!
Always rushing …. the bus won’t wait
The trickiest part is not to be late.
Neck craning back,
give one final wave bye ….
they’re off to high school
And Mom wants to cry.
