Poem for Parents

Partnership


They bring their child to me

And hope I'll come to know

How much their offspring means to them,

Their trust in me bestowed.



They bring their child to me

With love and hope and pride,

Looking for a helping hand,

A teacher who will guide.



They bring their child to me,

And our partnership is clear:

To nurture and allow to bloom

A life we both hold dear.



They bring their child to me,

A step toward letting go

And trusting in our special plan

To help the child grow.
