" The Heart of a Teacher "
Heart of A Teacher
by Paula J. Fox
The child arrives like a mystery box…
with puzzle pieces inside
some of the pieces are broken or missing…
and others just seem to hide
But the HEART of a teacher can sort them out…
and help the child to see
the potential for greatness he has within…
a picture of what he can be
Her goal isn’t just to teach knowledge…
by filling the box with more parts
it’s putting the pieces together…
to create a work of art.
The process is painfully slow at times…
some need more help than others
each child is a work in progress…
with assorted shapes and colors
First she creates a classroom…
where the child can feel safe in school
where he never feels threatened or afraid to try…
and kindness is always the rule
She knows that a child can achieve
much more when he feels secure inside
when he’s valued and loved…and believes in himself …
and he has a sense of pride
She models and teaches good character…
and respect for one another
how to focus on strengths…not weaknesses
and how to encourage each other
She gives the child the freedom he needs…
to make choices on his own
so he learns to become more responsible…
and is able to stand alone
He’s taught to be strong and think for himself…
as his soul and spirit heal
and the puzzle that’s taking shape inside…
has a much more positive feel
The child discovers the joy that comes…
from learning something new…
and his vision grows as he begins
to see all the things he can do
A picture is formed as more pieces fit…
an image of the child within
with greater strength and confidence…
and a belief that he can win!
All because a hero was there…
in the HEART of a teacher who cared
enabling the child to become much more…
than he ever imagined…or dared
A teacher with a HEART for her children…
knows what teaching is all about
she may not have all the answers…
but on this…she has no doubt
When asked which subjects she loved to teach,
she answered this way and smiled…
“It’s not the subjects that matter…
It’s all about teaching the CHILD.”
The Heart of a Teacher
Teaching is more than just a role we play
It's a passion we carry every day
Though some moments are hard, we stay strong
We give them knowledge, help them grow,
Support their steps as they come to know.
Through struggles and joy, we stand by their side
With love and care as their faithful guide.
We see their progress, we see their fight
We lift them up when they lose sight.
As teachers we give from the heart
In this journey we each play our part.
With passion, we teach, we guide, we care
Helping children rise everywhere.
We're proud of the work we do each day
And together we will show them the way.
Through love and struggle, joy and pain
We help them grow and rise again.
People may imagine, but can't truly feel
The hard work that makes our passion real.
We share the load, we lift each other
As teachers, we stand strong together.
We see their struggles, their highs and lows
And through it all, our love still grows.
We teach with care, we teach with pride
With every lesson, we're by their side.
We're more than teachers, we're a team
United by one common dream.
To guide the children who cross our way
To shape a brighter, better day.
With passion, we teach, we guide we care
Helping children rise everywhere.
We're proud of the work we do each day
And together we will show them the way.
Through love and struggle, joy and pain
We help them grow and rise again.
We have one voice, our mission clear
To touch each child we hold so dear.
We teach with hope, we teach with pride
And walk with them, side by side.
