Click here to listen to "Teacher" Why? she said, and made me ask <br />The question that she did not grasp <br />I struggled, pondering answers deep <br />Long after she was fast asleep <br />Why not? she asked, and made me doubt <br />Just what my life was all about <br />The trust and frankness in her eyes <br />Would not permit a compromise <br />I knew she looked to me as guide <br />To navigate uncertain tide <br />So I looked deep into my mind <br />To see what wisdom I could find <br />Eternal truths I could impart <br />To feed her growing mind and heart <br />But, alas, I am not as wise <br />As her fledgling mind would surmise <br />But I believe I’ve found the key: <br />I learn from her as she from me.<br /><br />Beth Behrens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/teacher/
