To Teach
To teach is to touch
the mind of a child
when to others what's taught
sometimes seems mild
To teach is to touch
the heart of a child
to know it's all worth it
when one child has smiled
To teach is to touch
the life of a child
to hope as they grow
they won't be so wild
To teach is to touch
the warmth of a parent
so when they leave them
they can grin and bare it
To teach is to know
that we've done our best
to show these children love
and the way to success
