Education
Signs of summer dwindling away show themselves
Yellow buses exclaim school is in session
Children no longer fill the parks through the day
Parents breathe a sigh
Teachers prepare great lessons to mold young minds
Eyes wide with wonder at what they discover
At three the bell rings and hastily they go
Home or to practice
I sigh a big sigh and smile for the thoughtful
Insights of my students throughout the quick day
I breathe deeply and prepare for tomorrow
To do it again.
I wouldn’t change my career choice for the world.
There is a lot of dumb politics involved
With pay and contracts and appeasing parents
But it is worth it!
