For the Children

Look closely children

and you will find

within shadowed corners

 of your mind,

a warm glow, a treasure rare

 a beautiful spirit

living there.

A heart that beats

a mind to wonder

let no man leave

this soul

asunder.

This is lovely. I have two wee ones that are so precious and inspiring.

[Dara]

Thank you :-) Yes, I always say I learned more from my students than I think I taught them.

[Matching Socks]

I bet they would disagree. :)
You're welcome.

The beauty of your words compliment the striking black and white photography, Dara. Your profession was one that I most admire, ever since my now college son was a preschooler. There just aren't enough words to thank our teachers for their efforts and inspiration, but I know my son and I are grateful for the influences given!

Bless you!

[Dara]

Kelly, thank you so much for your beautiful comment and support of my profession. Teachers are often taken for granted and to hear such words of praise really warms my heart!

fabulous.. this is for all children everywhere... and also it shows the impact you must have had on your past students... the children and your own as well.

Thank you Woody! Yes, they are so vulnerable and it just takes one bad experience to effect them for life. So nice to see you today :-)
