The classroom
was quite empty, all the children had gone home.
I know that
all who teach, will never earn themselves great wealth.

I have placed a donation button on the pages.
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.
It is not necessary to make a donation to view the pages,
but if you would like to make a donation to help with the expense of maintaining the website
any amount will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Susie
