That little cherub sitting there <br /> With eager eyes and expectant air <br /> Who knows what he may become... <br /> Perhaps a doctor, lawyer, preacher <br /> Policeman, executive, senator or 'rep' <br /> He could blossom into another good teacher. <br /> He might even become our President <br /> Or be well-equipped for other walks in life. <br /> <br /> That little one may prove to be <br /> History's essential vital link <br /> Because a good teacher made him-- think!<br /><br />Julia Irene Peterson Hardy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mark-a-good-teacher-makes/
