Poem
by Joy Saunders Lundberg
 

"A teacher is someone who
senses the worth of my soul,
who sees the potential within.
Who somehow knows how
For me to try harder and win.

Someone who sees beyond the small acts
That cover my real needs inside,
And uses the power of calm gentleness
While setting the boundaries that guide.

Someone who opens the world to my view
And causes my mind to explore the wonders of life in ways that inspire
A yearning to walk through the door.

Someone whose smile reveals a deep faith in all that is decent and true.
Whose caring and love I cannot resist.
That someone, that teacher, is you!"
