The Art and Heart of Teaching

The following is a simple poem I wrote at school last week (keep in mind I am a math person, not English).

Teaching is an art
that comes from the heart

Some days you want to quit
but then you take a sit

And think of the kids
and all you put under their lids

Loving on them, and teaching them much
It is their lives you are sure to touch

It takes great passion
And a little bit of fashion

To make a lasting impact
And to know that in fact

Your learners are growing
And have no trouble showing

The world who they are
And that they will go far

So wipe off your tears
And give yourself some cheers

You were made to be a teacher
An thus you must be a reacher

Who aims for the heart
And knows each day's a work of art.
