Special Person's Day

Today was Special Person’s Day
At pre-school, for the 3’s.
One guest per child and I was picked,
An honor I did seize.

Each child announced his person
Then we hunted for their names
On a placemat on the table
Where we sat and made some frames.

There was fruit to eat and cookies
Which the children helped to bake
And some marigolds in plastic cups
For all of us to take.

Then a teacher took our pictures
So the frames will get some use
And the kids performed a song and dance
To shake their sillies loose.

Though I’m one of several people
Henry loves who love him back,
I am thrilled that he decided
To select me from the pack.
