I Barely Remember...

It was my first day of preschool. Let me tell you how the day played.
--

It was her first day of preschool, her mommy got her dressed.
The little girl was scarred and anxious, wanting to meat all of the other kids.
They ate breakfast, and then went to the car to start out the day.
Mommy and daddy let their little girl out the car door, she squealed and giggled as they unbuckled her.
Daddy gave her a kiss on the cheek, mommy gave her a hug and told her to be good.
The little girl was hesitant when the teacher came and took her hand to lead inside,
but once in school and playing with dolls she had the very best time.
She met a blonde girl who became her best friend, and a little boy who played with her with playdough.
There was story time, and nap time, no one even had a thought of what was going on.
Mommy and daddy looked at their baby one last time before going home,
they had no thoughts of how horrific the day really was.
The parents came home, and started to relax. Mommy turned on the new's, and then mommy gasped.
While her little girl spent her first fun day in school,
one the twin towers was in flames and sirens from the television played.
Then the news lady screamed "Oh my God, another plane"
Screaming and shouting as the other one was hit, mommy turned off the news, she couldn't watch it.
Time seemed to freeze. Mommy told daddy and they stood there, silent. 
Later they heard while their child was away at school, America was at war.
The little girl came home, not knowing a thing. She smiled as she told her parents what she did all day.
The only thing she noticed was the sad sighs from mommy and daddy.
