Poem Title:
Poem
With great enthusiasm and a zest for what you do You make us want to pass the test of being just like you The kindly words that we beseech are more than just a trial For they provide the truth you teach in how we ought to smile You see the good in everyone and so we understand That leadership is how you lead and not how you command Your thoughtful ways are happy days for those who must return The doubtful ones who come to play but never take a turn You teach us well and worthy too in how you wing each task By which we mean to say "I do" in everything you ask You greet the day with firm resolve in teaching us the rules And never cheat the ones you meet for acting like the fools With diligence of diffidence the duties you perform Are evidence of impotence in how you calm the storm The expertise in how you lead is why you may profess To teach our democratic ways of voting with success The work you do is vital to the people and their fate For when you serve a noble cause you keep their country great So thank you teacher, teacher for the choice to be a star And may you serve with lots of nerve in proving who you are!
