A Teacher's Wish

I first posted this poem back in January. But today is graduation day, so I wanted to share it again. I think all teachers feel as I do and hope they have given their students everything they need as they make their way in the world.  So, for all graduates, but mostly for the Crestwood High School Class of 2012, here's my wish.

Wings To The World

I hope to give you wings

to soar above the world

spreading your message 

of passion, enthusiasm,

and love.

I hope to give you wings

to fly through the world

finding those who validate you

and 

support your dreams.

I hope to give you wings

so 

you may sail through the 

troubled times you experience 

and

rise above them.

I hope to give you wings

so

you may flit and float and flutter

for 

fun

without worrying what the fun-haters think.

I hope to give you wings.
