I sent my son to school today,
He came home with a friend,
I can cross that off my worry list,
That puts nutrition at the top.
I sent my son to school today,
He came home without a note,
To tell me of some naughty prank,
He must have been real good.
I sent my son to school today,
I can't believe he's five,
He reads his book and ties his shoes,
And buttons up his shirts.
I sent my son to school today,
I'll send him back tomorrow,
They'll fill his head with useless stuff,
He'll never need to use.
I wanted to go to school today,
I wanted to make him safe,
I think that I have done my best,
I had to let him go.
