His courage this past week is commendable and yet, completely expected if you know my son. He never shows his fear and he takes a positive perspective on the unexpected. I want to declare my admiration for his bravery and unyielding sense of adventure. I am so proud of his fearless spirit and, if I work at it, maybe I'll grow up to be more like my son someday.
My son's school had a ribbon cutting ceremony before school started for the new Early Childhood Learning Center (grades PreK to Kindergarten) that they renovated during the summer. To help introduce him to other students, I had my son participate in the choir singing the day's theme song. Although the song was written in honor of the new Early Childhood Center, I thought the song's words befitting for my own son because, as a new student at the school, this too is his new beginning. I share those words with you and hope they carry you through any new beginnings you may be experiencing.
A New Beginning
Music by Jacobson/Emerson
Dawn! A new Day! A fresh start! Together.
Light! The first light! Connections forever.
Fueled by a passionate spark;
Bound by a beacon of hope...
Led by the joy in our heart
To the start,
To the start.
A new beginning
Will start today.
A chance to change and learn and know
A better way.
A new beginning
Will start with me.
We'll find a way each day to change our destiny.
A dream that everyone can share and
See the light from everywhere.
A new beginning
Starts today!
