THANK YOU! Here's a song my daughter (the poet) helped me write. I am certainly thankful for teachers like each of you. You don't receive the pay, respect, or recognition that you deserve, but know that some child's life is better because of you!
TIS' YOU
(Tune: "Simple Gifts")
Jean Feldman and Holly Feldman Karapetkova
Tis' you who cares,
And tis' you who shares.
Tis' you who teaches
Children everywhere.
Tis' you who inspires,
Tis' you who molds.
You help children's gifts
And dreams unfold.
Tis' you our teachers
Everywhere
For some child you're the
Only one who cares.
And when you come at last
To the end of your days,
I have touched a life
Is what you can say.
It's not the test scores.
It's not the books.
Into the hopeful eyes
Of each child you must look.
You plant the seeds of learning
With smiles and grace.
Each day you make the world
A better place.
Tis' you our teachers
Everywhere
For some child you're the
Only one who cares.
And when you come at last
To the end of your days,
I have touched a life
Is what you can say.
