Joy Unparalleled


"Teachers don't make much money."

"Early Childhood Educators make practically no money."

"Day Care providers make less than doormen."

I hear it.

I hear it.

I hear it all.

Yet the promise of money,

Or lack thereof,

Cannot change the heart,

Or what it wants.

Spending time with

And teaching children,

The citizens who still have imagination

And fascination

For the unknown,

Watching the learn,

Whether with help or on their own,

Gives me joy

Unparalleled.
