a quick verse on teaching

A Life in Service

I walk into the classroom and i check the thermostat,
I straighten up the rows of where they'll sit and where they've sat.
I put a box of crayons back into it's given place.
I step into the powder room to freshen up my face.
The bell with ring, the children come - a frenzy through the door
and i will show them things that they have never seen before.
It won't all be smooth sailing, but when they look up and smile
because they finally understand - i'll know my life's worthwhile.
