The Kindergarten Teacher

This morning I am on my way
To teach another long, hard day.
My stomach's often tied in knots
Before I face those screaming tots
With untied shoes and runny noses,
My job is not a bed of roses,
And yet my heart keeps telling me
There's no place else I'd rather be.

I love these words so much. Very dedicated to your work. Keep up the good work. These tots will grow up to be grown ups who'll remember that one teacher who always loved them. Beautifully expressed, thank you.
