Cherished

A poem written as a leaving gift to my sons teacher.

I handed you a precious gift

The most cherished thing I own

And with loving arms and the warmest heart

You nurtured and helped him grow

You can get him to smile when he’s down in the dumps

And to write when he just wants to play

You’re patient and kind, you care so very much

Its been easy to leave him each day

Thank you for caring and being the one 

who listens and fills him with joy

For wiping his tears and giving him hope

Thank you, for teaching my little boy
