For Teachers

For Teachers
For my colleagues
Past present future
Don't forget you know how to nurture
You know why you chose this profession
It wasn't for the money
We could have made more
Choosing another
It wasn't for the summers off
Though opponents keep sounding off
It was because we are special
We have a love of children
We have a love to help them succeed
We love when we see that light bulb
Show its bright face
That smile or hug from 
A child can never be replaced
So hold your heads up
You know who you are
You know what you do
Forget those words from those
Who haven't a clue
And could never ever 
Do what we do
I'm proud to say I am a
TEACHER!!!!
