Let's celebrate teachers--give them a big hand!
For they hold the treasure a child's mind needs.
They open doors to discovery's wondrous land;
then urge them along to help them succeed.
Their drive and coaxing we feel throughout life--
whispers of "you know you can do much more."
Life, you told us, is not won without strife,
so, "get busy, let's see what you have in store."
When recalling school days, who comes to mind?
Schoolmates in classes, acquaintances fleet.?
Along with your good friends, who do you find?
I'll bet it's the ones who made learning sweet.
Miss McMillan, who came with us from Jr. High.
Iris and Byron Chew stretched our brains far.
Miss Mershon said let's give pyramids a try.
Mrs. Babcock had us reach for a star.
Thanks, teachers, for giving us distant shores
to visit, and snow-capped mountains to climb.
Thanks for holding our children's hands in yours
guiding their journey through momentous times.
Thanks for helping those who have tutor needs;
for late nights grading papers without end.
You smile as we leave, for you planted seeds.
All this, and you manage to be a friend!

You
descended on me
from the stars above
appearing out of visions
overwhelming my still soul with your self
as door by door opened on life’s passions
to show me all the pleasures long been missed
and for a second, I began to exhale
then caught my breath
daring to let go
completely.
The touch
of your body
overwhelmed my virgin predicament
as years began to become
one night and I exploded into paradise
with innocence.
Exhalation was inevitable.

She has no wings or a halo on her head.
She stands over you, has you lie in your bed.
She's a McMillan nurse, stood over your deathbed.
She has eyes of blue and heart of gold.
She as caring nature and a calm head.
She stands over you as you lie in your bed.
They are angels in our midst, behold.
They are pure human thoroughbreds.
Her caring nature and a calm head.
Bringing peace and serenity, all told.
Human angels with loving care to spread .
They are pure human thoroughbreds.
Deity's of reality not fables of old.
Don't let our admiration go unsaid.
Human angels with loving care to spread.
The finest examples of us humans, true gold.
She as no wings or a halo on her head.
Don't let our admiration go unsaid.
She a McMillan nurse, stood over your deathbed.
