Poem for the Words I Wish were Spoken

I know that you think 
children are resilient
they are not. 
Trees are resilient, 
children are not trees,
neither are you and me. 

I need to teach them resilience, 
Through closure, today. 

Let me say goodbye.
You never gave me the chance,
when I resigned.

Jeanette Swan January 13, 2026 at 4:05 AM Well spoken, 'children are not trees'. Goodbye matters. J CC Bloom January 13, 2026 at 5:48 AM Yes it does. Thank you for your kind words Jeanette Swan January 13, 2026 at 4:30 AM Yes. And for younger kids, the sharing of pictures they've made. My daughter is currently very sick, and her son's classroom kindy teacher sent her a poster home with a drawing from each child. It was very precious.
