A Successful Teacher

If you love your students
for who they are,
not for what they do,
If you can offer greater dreams,
even to a few....
If you can touch a single life
and improve it for one day,
If you can bring encouragement
through the words you say....
If you can back up with your life
the truth of what you teach,
And take the time to listen to the
hearts you want to reach....
You'll find your classroom full each day
with eager minds to feed,
And as a teacher and a friend,
you always will succeed.
