Teachers

To My Teacher

A substitute for working moms,
She comforts, pampers, soothes and calms.
With all the love she has to share,
She's great to have when mom's not there.

She loves to rock a fussy child,
Corrects the one who gets too wild.
She hears her share of tearful pleas,
And comforts those with skinned up knees.

With little children she plays a peek,
For bigger ones it's hide-and-seek.
She is an expert at each game,
But somehow loses just the same

She helps them learn the alphabet,
And gives them hugs when they're upset.
She is a true and trusted friend,
Who helps them learn and play pretend.

Although she's paid, it's plain to see,
She serves them with a love that's free
