A Teacher In Chinatown Sf

The most beautiful days in my life,
     Living in San Francisco near that
     Bridge, the Golden Gate!
     Days of well behaved children in
     classes that had no strife.
     God had surely blessed me, to have
     such a divine fate.


     Each morning, I took a cable car to
     school.
     With that divine ride, came the great
     scent of the Pacific Ocean!
     I was impressed by my classes’ respect 
     for the Golden rule. 
     So glad to have left Chicago, which was indeed 
     my land of Goshen!


     It was a grand blessing, to be respected as 
     a teacher!
     We had recess on the spacious, sun blessed, large,
     safe roof.
     In Chicago, kids fought and I had to
     be both warden, add....a preacher!
     Sunny San Francisco,we could see three cities, 
     I felt happy as a puppy and wanted
     to bark, woof-woof!


     I wanted to thank God, today for each 
     day.... I went to work.
     And this is just one of thousands of
     blessings in my life.
     
     San Francisco, in that same place,
     I became, one day, a beautiful wife!
     Thank you, dear San Francisco!
     Always, my heaven on this earth!
