With Great Enthusiasm
With great enthusiasm and a zest for what you do
You make us want to pass the test of being just like you
The kindly words that we beseech are more than just a trial
For they provide the truth you teach in how we ought to smile
You see the good in everyone and so we understand
That leadership is how you lead and not how you command
Your thoughtful ways are happy days for those who must return
The doubtful ones who come to play but never take a turn
You teach us well and worthy too in how you wing each task
By which we mean to say "I do" in everything you ask
You greet the day with firm resolve in teaching us the rules
And never cheat the ones you meet for acting like the fools
With diligence of diffidence the duties you perform
Are evidence of impotence in how you calm the storm
The expertise in how you lead is why you may profess
To teach our democratic ways of voting with success
The work you do is vital to the people and their fate
For when you serve a noble cause you keep their country great
So thank you teacher, teacher for the choice to be a star
And may you serve with lots of nerve in proving who you are!
