My Teacher

I came to you with an open mind that you kindly filled with wisdom And as I grew, so did my knowledge all because you cared When there were times I didn't fully comprehend the patience and attention you showed me Gave me guidance and confidence in myself all because you believed in me I come to you now with respect that you have earned unconditionally Some day I hope to make you proud by wisely practicing all that you have taught me

Thank you, Carolyn. I wrote this poem about eight years ago and since then I've been teaching preschool children for the past seven years. Teachers are the people into whose hands we place our most precious gifts. I've met a lot that are truly good people and love their profession. I am really enjoying this site and all the great people that participate here as well. Take care, Shani
