                                A teacher is just sort of a different kind of creature
                                A person who knows that he or she can connect with him and reach her
                                Fearless not faultless, pushing and prodding, always timely and timeless
                                Relentless and resent-less, hushing not crushing ... in 13 years the students
                                                                                                               will say that they were blessed
 
                                The lessons, as a student that I learned, those pathways guided
                                No messin’ round, goofiness to be spurned, smart choices that I decided
                                Former back-row slacker dreamin’ ‘bout being a rock-star
                                Early on I did not know what I was after, and I was WAY beyond halfway to disaster
 
                                My learning came easier when I started listening
                                My turning ‘round went breezier when I stopped muttering and whispering
                                Head up and focus … no joking … 
                                                                                        Class is in session.
                                Ain’t no hocus-pocus … my brains stoking …
                                                                                                                Teacher, bring on my next lesson
