The greatest relationship to be recognized <br />Is the union between parents and teachers. <br />For these are they <br />That birth the true talent of a child. <br />So often are those overlooked <br />Whose perserverance has filled the gap <br />Between one's ingrained ability <br />And their intellectual spirituality. <br />They are those who help cultivate <br />And enduce the dignity and pride <br />Of one's intelligence and prepare it <br />For the avenues and boulevards <br />Of our world and it's societies. <br /> <br />Although sometimes overlooked <br />For their own integrity. <br />Of having families and lives <br />Which sometimes go neglected <br />Or are not always given full attention <br />Because of their sacrifices <br />Dedicated to educate, to encourage <br />And inspire our children. <br /> <br />Their future is given to prepare <br />The future of every never ending tomorrow. <br />Because of their knowledge <br />Every capacity is filled <br />For every legitamate futre occupation. <br />Teachers, I salute and honor you today! <br /> <br />May the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob <br />Continue to Bless and Keep each of you. <br />That your endeavors may be blessed and fulfilled. <br /> <br />Happy Valentine's Day! <br /> <br />From <br />God's Own Servant, <br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valentine-s-salute-to-teachers/
