learning

a teacher's touch
could be enough
to change the day
to save the world

teachers are ...

keepers of secrets
builders of minds
creators of possibilities
new and plenty

finders of genius
of all kinds

some students
are great
at arithmetic
others at art

some are funny
and have a good heart

some can't
tell
their toe
from their shoe

but they'd give anything
to be noticed by you

so teachers look close
to the kids at your door
on your weariest day,
keep giving more

the tides are turning
and the children learning
from what they see
in you
and me
