A letter to my Kindergartner

books-and-backpack-clipart-book-clip-artOn this the morning of your first day
you’ll probably hustle out the door
remember I’ve been praying for you sweet girl
and baby so much more.

You’ve been counting down the days till now
one by one by one
they seemed to tick tock away too fast
how can your preschool years be done?

I pray you thunder into kindergarten
you hop, you skip, you prance
as you explore so many new things
make time for your happy dance

May you make a brand new friend,
and share a hug awhile
find your way, be who you are
Share your biggest smile

Know that you are brave and strong
just believe and fly
jump so high, run real fast
don’t be afraid to cry

So many things ahead of you
you’ll read, you’ll write, you’ll sore
remember I’ve been praying for you sweet girl
and baby so much more.

 

 

Cherry Fell

Posted on by

My high school volleyball team wouldn’t be the first to tell you I am a Klutz, I was voted “class klutz”, for obvious reasons. I fall, period. Even as I write this I have a perma-bruise on my forearm from falling down a flight of stairs over the holidays. I’ve gotten used to people laughing at me, and my creative ways of stumbling and recovering.  In high school I remember kids going as far as clapping when I would fall, gracefully or not.

Cherry Fell was a nick name given by the fellow high school athletes party because “Fell” rhymed with my last name Sell, partly because whenever my name was in the newspapers for sport stats they seemed to misprint Sherry Sell to Cherry Fell, but mostly because of the many falls I would take. Off a s chair, a tire swing, a bike, down a hill, a flight of stairs, or on flat clear ground are just  a few of the places I often fall.

So it’s nice to know other people fall too. Its hard not to laugh when its a good fall, accompanied with a few good sound effects. I do hope this lady is okay, I am not heartless, but for a good laugh….enjoy.
