IGNITING

They were just an ordinary class
Moving through the rudimentary system
Never truly seeing the magic of knowledge unfolding
To enrich their mundane lives.

Then SHE came.

Gradually, patiently, she sparked their interest,
Whetting their appetites for more.
Through her excitement, vigor, and enthusiasm,
She fed them knowledge in tiny increments.

SHE helped them see.

The flame of hope started to flicker in their own lives
As they grasped wisdom in tiny chunks and consumed it eagerly.
Then they began to feel empowered,
And they saw the scope of their own potential.

They did need HER.

After they had discovered all they could,
They were fortified and strengthened;
Prepared to light the way for others
With magnitude and glory into the future.

All because SHE cared.
