Poem #123 Superheroes in Disguise

  

You invested your time, when others would have shown us the door,
You gave us much needed guidance, to find our paths at cross roads;

You taught us to be humble, happy, kind and gentle,

You groomed us to learn from our failures, and to never settle.

You wore the hat of a friend, to help our daily troubles mend,

You easily turned into a mentor, finding our hidden talents;

You were always around, when we needed someone’s support,

Patient when we played truant, you were a great sport.

You taught us words, to structure sentences,

An art that fails us today, despite our many successes…

Thanks seems inadequate and there is not a valued enough prize,

Dearest Teachers You Are The Real SuperHeroes In Disguise!
