Teach (poem)
Teach
Oh Teach
I know it’s hard
And those littles need you
They need you so
A courage source
To show them how to get through
This is new
We see for sure
Such untethered ground
We know not what
To make of it
No signs to be found
The only answer
That I know
Your care gives gifts anew
Oh Teach
We need you so
You are our compass true
The strong point
That guides us on
When the seas are rough
Our center Mark
We look upon
To know we are enough
You cultivate
A space so safe
Held within your room
Courage heart
And bravery
We see you are the glue
Made of strong
And sticky stuff
You hold us all together
Because of you
We feel safe
Head to heart we tether
Oh Teach
We might fear
What’s around the bend
Through all the dark
And dreary things
You are our strongest friend
You hold the lamp
Way up high
To help guide the way
Your light protects
From the unknown
Keeps us from the fray
Oh Teach
Don’t loose hope
We need you so we do
Our Teach
With hope,
Faith,
Bravery
Our
Guide
That is
You
I’ve been having dreams lately
About all of my teacher friends.
I can feel the unease
It’s palpable
And I wanted to write this to tell my teacher friends
That you are all so important
You are our guides
And so many littles need you
And no matter what
Even though this is new and scary
You are
Loved so deeply
By so many
Keep being you
Keep being strong
Keep being the light
