Farewell first tooth

Nine days shy

Of your birth-day

You lost your first tooth

Like a castaway

Fallen out at camp

While taking a bite

Then suddenly gone

Vanished from site

Almost seven years

That you had that tooth

It sprouted up at 9 months

Represented your youth

Now years gone by

You’re bigger too

And underneath

A new tooth awaits you!

Shiny and white

Please take good care

Brush twice a day

And a smile you shall wear

A smile shining bright

A smile from a boy

Who brings those around him

So much joy
