HANDS OF A TEACHER

These are the hands of a teacher
Able to teach reading, writing
And arithmetic
Able to give knowledge encouragement
And understanding

Yet able to learn the loving
Caring ways of a child

When you look at the hands of
A teacher
Surely you will see

Strength, gentleness, courage,
Concern, wisdom, and understanding.
So when you look at the
Hands of a teacher

The heart is what you really see.
