To the DIFFICULT ones <br />I'll be patient <br />To the PAINED ones <br />I'll be concerned <br />To the FRUSTRATED ones <br />I'll be committed <br />To the IGNORED ones <br />I'll be accepting <br /> <br />To the INDIFFERENT ones <br />I'll be caring <br />To the DEMANDING ones <br />I'll be modeling <br />To the ANTISOCIAL ones <br />I'll be including <br />To the UNATTENTIVE ones <br />I'll be interesting <br /> <br />To the NEGATIVE ones <br />I'll be assisting <br />To the UNFEELING ones <br />I'll be reflective <br />To the DISTRACTABLE ones <br />I'll be focusing <br />To the UNACCEPTED ones <br />I'll be embracing <br /> <br />To the SERIOUS ones <br />I'll be amusing <br />To the UNXPERIENCED ones <br />I'll be enriching <br />To the SUBVERSIVE ones <br />I'll be forgiving <br />To the LAMENTED ones <br />I'll be consoling <br /> <br />To the OTHER ONES <br />I'll just assign busy-work!<br /><br />Robert John Meehan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-teacher-s-pledge/
