Mothers love their children.
Teachers
do, too!
Mothers sing to their
children.
Teachers
do, too!
Mothers read books to their
children.
Teachers
do, too!
Mothers guide and discipline
their children.
Teachers
do, too!
Mothers help their children
learn everything they can.
Teachers
do, too.
Mothers comfort their
children and dry their tears.
Teachers
do, too.
Mothers give their children
hopes and dreams.
Teachers
do, too.
Mothers want their children
to be happy.
Teachers
do, too.
I am reminded of a sweet book
called GOOD BYE, MR. CHIPS that was about a teacher at a boy’s boarding school
in England. As Mr. Chipping was
dying, someone remarked that it was sad that he never had children. Mr. Chips’s perception is similar to
what teachers everywhere feel:
I
thought I heard you saying it was a pity... pity I never had any children.
But
you're wrong. I have. Thousands of them. Thousands of them...
and
all boys.
Every teacher is a mother,
so I wish a special day to each of you!
