We would like to say thank you to all educators everywhere for:
Smiles, laughs, lunches,
Strength during crunches.
Patience with kids,
Patience with me.
Friends to each other,
Loving one another.
Examples to see,
What I’d like to be.
Teachers taking care,
Always being there.
Children learning,
Parents yearning.
Everyone trying,
Sometimes crying.
You’re always giving,
Models for living;
Life brimming

With love.
