You see, Teachers make bad days into good Teachers bring forth dreamers and thinkers.Īnother state test to endure and stress over,Įven when the world makes you feel small.Įven with dyslexia I could be Presidential. Tucker who wrote, "Amy is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day" on my first-grade report card, They make statements that linger long after the lessons have been absorbed. Tall stems and fragile blossoms exploding in their reach. Teachers conquer hate and foster expectation They weave through the constraints on their vision NOT to force the walking of a single path
This poem is dedicated to all teachers, but especially to Irma Garcia and Eva Mireles, fourth grade teachers who lost their lives at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. We received over 300 responses, and NPR's poet in residence Kwame Alexander took lines from submissions to create a community poem. We put out this call a week before the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, so the majority of contributors are not reflecting on that horrific day but a late addition did reflect that loss. A teacher cleans a desk in a classroom during a media tour at Dorothy Eisenberg Elementary School in Las Vegas.Īs part of teacher appreciation month, Morning Edition asked NPR's audience to write a poem about teachers who have had an impact on their lives.
