"First Day Wonders"

A child's thoughts on their first day of school

By Nasir KhanPublished 8 months ago • 1 min read

First day at School

I wonder if my drawing will be as good as theirs.

I wonder if they'll like me or just be full of stares.

I wonder

if my teacher will look like Mom or Gran.

I wonder

if my puppy will wonder where I am.

“Kindling the Cosmos”
--- They say the stars were once cold— silent observers adrift in a dark, empty void. But one day, a curious child, too bold for her own safety, climbed to the rim of the heavens carrying a match and a heart full of wonder.

Let the kids be kids, they opine from the podium... That'd be ideal if you weren't the ones molesting 'em. I had to learn pretty damn early that boys are incorrigible.

I'm officiating another wedding in September. My dear friend, Alex, is marrying her sweet love, Camille, and I get to give the speech that binds them together in the eyes of the law. I thought I might play with a few ideas here to help me brainstorm and develop the message. I'll skip the boring standard introduction stuff; similarly, I won't include the wrap-up with their commitments and whatnot. Just the goods.
