Poem
Seven in the morning, first toddler arrives Extreme hope for the day in his eyes You are the reason his look is glazed He expects your wit to entertain and amaze You are his Disneyland, his Chuck E. Cheese His heart pumps, his mind at ease Don’t fail him, don’t destroy his dreams With love, stimulate and fulfill his needs Do what you say and say what you mean Belief in fairy tales, faith in the unseen Wands cast spells, superhero’s fly Santa Claus is real, leprechauns lie Kids respond to music like flies to a cow Sing every day whether you know how For circle, for snack, for lunch or at noon Before long they’ll all be singing in tune If spiritual are the rewards you seek You’ll have the power to penetrate deep By example, model positive behavior And you will be a warrior and savior Feel with compassion, without charge Touch with a heart abundant and large Listen actively, with sincere passion See innocently, through rose colored glasses Every child has a gift to explore A specialness they should not ignore Nurture it with challenges that inspire And their inner self worth will grow higher In teaching in a way that satisfies Try to see the world from their eyes Use puppets as often as you feel Because to a child they are real All things are magic, all things are alive Connect with each child’s unique side Make each day a celebration, a dance Reciprocate with love and acceptance The quieter you talk, the better they listen The sillier you are, the better their attention If you enjoy what you do, they will too And each day will be a gift to you
