today you are leaving
"moving to a new school"
beyond any control of your own
you are just a child
three years of age
but someday you will grow
will you remember me
i'm only in your life a moment
i taught you the best I knew
you took it all in with a smile
you have learned so much
but your heart is so young now
someday your heart will grow
someday it will be broken
and broken again
far from the place you are now
but it will heal
and you will make your own new start
but could you remember me
the art you will create
as your heart grows will fill rooms
it will fill books and galleries
but for now the fridge doors
of all that you love
I thank you that I am one
for now
and hope that you know who you are
for always
