Teacher
****************
You can tell a teacher by
how they smile when they pass by.
you can tell a teacher by
the pencil behind the ear or in the hair.
you can tell a teacher by
the way their personality fills the air.
they are always carring silly things
that no one else understands
but all these things make teachers great
in the eyes of small and young.
these teacher we often call our friends
when hard times come

MY KIDS
I like to play with treasures in my desk I like to watch it rain. I like to taste the snow, to smell the leaves, to hear the whistle of the train.
School is fun at lunch and recess, but I do get kinda sad, 'cause all the time I'm in the class the teacher thinks me bad.
She says I never pay attention. She calls me messy. She calls me lazy. Since she can't do nothing with me, I guess she thinks I'm crazy.
The teacher thinks I'm naughty 'cause I'm different from the rest. What the teacher doesn't understand - I'm bein' at my best.
She says I'm rude cause I interrupt, calls me mean 'cause I'm scrappy. I guess I can't do nothin' to make my teacher happy.
I try to listen, I try to sit. I really, really try. If she would only understand. But she don't! I wonder why?
What she sees is really me, I wish she could accept that I'm not naughty, bad, or mean.
Even tho' I'm hyperactive, I'm still a human being.
