Teachers Rule & Love What They Do.
Each of us are lucky as we learn something new.
It is a wonder some disrespect,
or shun the privilege away,
I value what I have been taught
each and every day.
I may not remember every calculation,
or every element of grammar,
but the life experiences that they've built
became truly what matters.
I've never liked to test,
or measure against the crowd.
I treasure being unique
and feel lucky to have been allowed.
Our teachers give so much
to ensure our success.
Allowing creativity
to help us do our best.
If we're having trouble
they put in the extra time.
And they are concerned about our ability
not making an extra dime.
But they deserve fair pay
for building the next leaders.
And it all starts
with parents who are reader,s
and show an interest in a child
helping them in this world.
Each of us are an example
wherever our voice can be heard.
So remember you are a teacher
as you share talent and communicate.
Please let the positive start with you.
Remember it is never too late.

The Gong that Roared

An element of surprise,
when the music softens,
It was the gong that roared,
which is heard ever so often.
It was a discovery that occurred
with a meeting of the minds.
And a friend made it a reality
just in the nick of time.
This sound that triumphs
will wake the bored.
The gong created the element
that they needed to explore.
A vibration lingering,
with a gasp and a release,
Yes, the band loved it.
It was the missing piece.

The Cat and the Canary

The Cat and the Canary

A picturesque scene emersed
on a glorious spring day,
The cat and the canary,
have found their own way,
-to co-exist in peace,
-to enjoy the sun,
-to relax on a bench,
and to have a little fun.
A chase ensues
for a short while,
but they are friends
and pursue with a smile.
Now the painter in the park
has caught them in her gaze,
and those who stop to see her work
will only be amazed.
