Great poem, RoseAnn. I agree with everything you said. However, as a former teacher, I can't help correcting a few minor errors in grammar. In the first sentence you are mixing a singular with a plural. (teacher = singular, themselves = plural) . You should use HIMSELF or HERSELF. Again, later in the poem, child = singular, they, their lives = plural. ... something HE might want to do with HIS LIFE later on. Finally, in the penultimate line, you meant WHOSE, not WHO'S. (Who's = who is) You are welcome to make the changes (if you wish) and then delete this message. I love your work. Respectfully, Kim Barney
