September school starters

Stiff leather creaks as new shoes house tiny toes taking small but equally gargantuan steps into school for the very first time.

A mother’s cheek is wet with both sadness and pride. A heady dance of emotions that flutter from tumultuous tummy’s to nervous picking fingertips. Their most precious creation leaves, without a glance back. Boldly going where their brothers and sisters have gone before them.

The school bell trills, a familiar sound, the mark of new books opening and simultaneously, chapters closing.
