Passion

October 22, 2013

I want to see a passion

something that sweeps the nation

that gets under your skin

and wriggles around

and makes you itch

I want to see a love for books

for learning

for knowledge

for wisdom

I want to see students never leave

take it all in

breathe it all out

absorb every moment

long for the mornings to rouse them

to enter the building with the pencils

I want to see people loving 

to struggle 

to understand

the math

science

English

work untill its done

sweat

erase

be the best they can be
