A Poem & A Painting: An Apple For Teacher

While Labor Day may mark the unofficial end to Summer, it certainly doesn’t feel like it around here.  The temperatures are forecast to be in the 90s today ~ we are in the midst of a New England heat wave!  Despite the heat, there are signs that Fall is on the way, the biggest of which is that school is back in session.  I have so much gratitude for the many fine teachers who helped guide my children over the years.

If I Could Teach You, Teacher

If I could teach you, teacher,
I’d teach you how much more
you have accomplished
than you think you have.
I’d show you the seeds
you planted years ago
that are now coming into bloom.
I’d reveal to you the young minds
that have expanded under your care,
the hearts that are serving others
because they had you as a role model.
If I could teach you, teacher,
I’d show you the positive effect
you have had on me and my life.
Your homework is
to know your value to the world,
to acknowledge it, to believe it.
Thank you, teacher.
