Great diligent student,
learns lessons to teach,
studies until fluent,
assures goals are reached.
Life is a grand classrooms,
her bright eyes, windows.
in her mind seeds bloom,
blossom like a rose.
As each hour passes,
dreams grow in real time,
her heart slowly dances,
to wisdoms loud chimes.
Villains in her story,
bask in jaded glory,
her shine clears despair,
shows them how to care.
Wipes away old tears,
obstacles decay,
analysis fears,
and the roles they play.
Smiles at worn past chapters,
used to guide new steps,
reviews every factor,
prepared for the next.

Such a great ode to good teachers, Grace. I love this and salute them. I’ll send to my daughter. Thanks 💕
p.s. I should have said students. she’s been having some challenging ones tho..
I could only imagine. 8th grade could be tough. I truly commend teachers for all of their dedication.💕
For sure.. She loves it for the most part. There is always a doozy in every class. I give her tips, she gives me real life lessons. I think of the big picture, she things of the moment and all the kids. She throws one new kid that was kicked out of 2 other schools and just came now, every day. I shutter. now with the gun laws that teachers can have a gun.. who’d a ever thought you we could worry about the safety of our child as a teacher. xo sorry to ramble. 💓
I know, crazy times. Blessings to her for all she does. Hats off to your daughter.💕🙏💕
for sure.. thanks Grace.. xo 💓💓
