Teaching

Teaching is a work of heart.
You must approach it as an art.

Give of yourself so the children feel
That your love for them is real.

They need to know that you are there
And you teach them because you care.

Your words and deeds are examples, you know
If you don't love teaching, you should go.

A teacher is born not made, I believe
Education and training will not deceive.

Either you are one chosen to teach 
Or their little hearts, you will not reach.

Consider these words, I imply
If teaching school you wish to try.
