Teacher Dearest

My mom had mentioned that a friend wanted something to give a teacher and was going to send along a special card but could find none. I don’t know the lady so I just wrote this general card for all those good teachers out there. We all know that teachers are not all good and that some are motivated by the long vacations and money, but for those like some of my old teachers, this one is for them. A Buddhist once told me that there is no profession more honorable than teaching

 

Teacher Dearest

Training and guiding us the way we must go

Educating us in fields of things we should know

Arithmetic, Math and Geography

Chemistry, Physics and Biology

Hygienic habits to protect us from disease and the flu

Encouragement to implement the things we knew

Righteous grounds to discern right from wrong

Drawing, Art, Writing and expressions in song

Every stage of our lives teachers were there

Always instructing and shielding us from despair

Reaching in and pulling characters out

Eyes to correct when we frown or pout

So many time they have molded a scholar from a would-be bum

Teachers are the keys to who we’ll become
