Isabella - in Uniform!

Parents - caught in daily whirl

Observe in fleeting snaps their girl

While Brussels Auntie, blessed with time,

Encapsulates it all in rhyme!

 

Pale wisps of fragile dreams give birth

To thoughts of school – more down-to-earth;

At nearly four, dressed cute in blue,

Isabella now leaps through

 

Another hoop, and gently passes

From insouciance – to classes

New band of playmates hove in view

Attired like her in royal blue!

 

Soon Kindy* rules will be enforced

Character-moulding times, of course!

She’ll have to take turns, learn to share

And hold her own, with Mum not there!

 

Yes, a new rite of passage looms!

A learning curve for gentle blooms

It’s here the “Three Rs” will be taught;

On hand - big brother for support!
