What is a Teacher?

What is a Teacher?
by Barbara Cage
A teacher is someone who sees each child
as a unique person
and encourages individual talents and strengths.
A teacher looks beyond each child's face
and sees inside their souls.
A teacher is someone with a special touch
and a ready smile
who takes the time to listen to both sides
and always tries to be fair.
A teacher has a caring heart
that respects and understands.
A teacher is someone
who can look past disruption and rebellion,
and recognize hurt and pain.
A teacher teaches the entire child
and helps to build confidence and raise self-esteem.
A teacher makes a difference in each child's life
and affects each family
and the future of us all.
