Warmth of a Smile

A chilly school day as Miss Jones arrived
her hat and coat
in her hands
Students
sat
still
to see
her eyes tear
in great surprise 
as she warmed from the precious notes and gifts

Heya Linda My own experience with teachers was in religious institutional schools, under the cane, but even then there was some ok ones, not very many mind you, always wished I had a teacher like in your poem, congratulations on the win cheers David

I have heard tale of the parochial schools though I never experienced them. And I never experienced the one like Miss Jones either (a little bit before my school days, judging by the attire). :) Thanks for dropping by with congrats! Linda

I thought today most teachers take an apple as an insult that they should lose weight? Aloha! Rico

That's probably true Rico. LOL By the looks of this woman's attire and hair style, and that of the children, I'm thinking this is not a "today" situation. :)) Thanks for stopping by! Linda
