Well it happened today. My new class arrived for a visit. The majority come from my dear friend and colleague May, the rest from anywhere. I don’t look forward to it I find it quite stressful. Maybe that is because I really don’t like change. No need to worry they were a champion lot, a few characters shone through and even the parents were friendly. Phew, that’s over.
I count myself lucky. Two minutes after May's children arrived one vomited everywhere!
I missed my lot and I was very happy when they returned for lunch.
This Hand I Hold
This hand I hold I touch it now
For all eternity,
And the knowledge that I share
I give from you to me.
In hope that all you do and say
Reflects the lessons learned,
And all the awards that you receive
Are ones that you have earned.
I am your present teacher
And your true friend,
But when the year is over
My thoughts of you won't end.
For in my dearest memory
Forever you will be,
And when you go I hope that you
Will take a part of me.
This hand I hold I touch it now
For all eternity,
And the knowledge that I share
I give from you to me.
