True Teaching


In Kindergarden you said

This book is too hard. No chapter books yet.

You were wrong.

In Second grade you said

23-25 is impossible.

You were wrong.

In Sixth grade you said

Shadows have mass.

You were wrong.

 

But in First grade you also said

I love you like a daughter.

In Seventh grade you said

You give me hope for the future.

In Eighth grade you said

You try, and you are unstoppable.

In Tenth grade you said

Be someone.

I thank you.
