Kudos to all teachers
How they earn our endless praise
So vital is their function
They’re entitled to a raise!
They wear so many different hats
They topple from their heads
And rather than find less to do
They’ll take more on instead!
Enfold our children under wing
And teach them how to fly
Patiently clean up their mess
And wipe the tears they cry
I’m not sure we realize
The pressure that they feel
Every day the work piles up
The stress they live is real
And though our kids go 9 to 3
That’s hardly teacher’s hours
Much earlier and later than
O’er lesson plans they scour
Even as the child grows up
A teacher’s role increases
Supportive ear while helming clubs
Obligation never ceases
And if it wasn’t hard enough
Our government’s a pest
With budget cuts and tightening belts
They do much more with less
And yet they show up every day
And do their jobs with pride
Meeting all their student’s needs
While theirs are set aside
Every teacher that I know
Are fatigued and never lazy
Doing job we’d dare not touch
For fear it’d drive us crazy!
Much needed rest is owed to them
As feet inch towards the door
The summer break is almost here
And few deserve it more!
