A Teacher's Tribute

Knowledge is Power by Norman Rockwell


One said he was lazy.
One said he was rude.
But, you came along saying,
"Things can improve."

"All of my students
are possibly A's.
Let's try a bit more
consistency, please."

How sweet and refreshing
to believe that you can
be all that's expected
in the eye of a man.

A spirit of hope
ignites in your heart.
And, you charge forth with courage
to live up to the part.

An immediate change
emerged in the birth
of value, confidence,
strength, and self worth.

Donna Black
