The classroom was
quite empty, all the children had gone home. I know that all who
teach, will never earn themselves great wealth. Page by SusieA1114@aol.com
If you have enjoyed these messages, poems
and songs and found them meaningful to you, 
My kindergarten class room was
quiet, as I sat there all alone.
That day in class I told the
children, what they were to do.
Make a Valentine for someone who
is close to you. 
Someone that you look up to, and,
someone you admire.
Someone who is helping you, become what you
desire.
Then I told the children, print a poem that is your
own.
Then leave them on my desk, to read, before you all go
home.
Tomorrow you can take them home,
to give to those you love.
But, first I'd like to read them,
to see who you're thinking of.
As, I sat and read the poems, the
little cards weren't bad.
Some were for grandparents, and
them some for Mom or Dad. 
Some had standard verses,...Roses
red and violets blue.
While others had cute verses, that the children made up
new.
But, then I started reading one, and, tears filled up my
eyes.
I never had expected this, it caught me by
surprise. "I love my Mom and
Dad" she wrote,...but, you are special too.
That is why I want to make, this
Valentine for you.
I heard my Mom once say, you are, a blessing in
disguise.
The way you love to teach, and help, to open children's
eyes. 
So you
will know and understand, 'cause, next year I'll be gone.
You've helped me to
be who I am, You are a special one.
I closed the little card from
her, and I just sat and cried
This precious little girl, had
done more than she realized.
A teacher doesn't earn a lot,
there's much they can't afford.
But, all the money in the world,
can't match this great reward.
To know you make a difference,
when you teach a little child.
And, know you have influenced
them, does make it all worthwhile.
Their riches come from knowing,
one has given of one's self.
To know we make a difference,
having helped a child who soared,
To know we had a part will be,
our Valentine reward.
