A PRESCHOOL TEACHER’S PRAYER Of all the saddest phrases, this one is true It’s at the moment I say “good-bye” to you No more seeing your energetic smiles each day No more teaching and coaching as you play It’s like a college separation Knowing you won’t see them on vacation As I filled them with numbers and ABCs I hope there’s still time for “thank you”s and “please” Such moments when they finally understand Hesitations and fears when they grab your hand No reward in life could ever match Even the simplest of activities like catch For farewells of their last lesson’s theme No more time to pretend and dream Now leaving but echos of “why”s and roars And so with all their art on refrigerator doors They begin the year of kindergarten I just hope their preschool teacher won’t be forgotten –Matthew E Nordin Don’t make those grumpy bird faces, get the pout-pouts away and be a happy llama! |
