I HOPE TO BE SO

A Teacher for All Seasons 


A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.


A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.


A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.


A teacher is like Winter,
While it’s snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.


Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You’re a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!
