TEACHER’S NOTES

TEACHER’S NOTES

 

The self-appointed teacher,

Or hired by a Board….

Uses notes as reminders

Of progress going forward.

–

Their notes when used by substitutes

Don’t always turn out as planned….

At least momentum is maintained

When notes are properly scanned.

–

One cannot guarantee success

Even with the teacher there…

Students must think and decide for themselves

If attention they will spare.

–

If I am a teacher

And you-all are my class…

Some things from my notes I’ll take

In “hard knocks school” to pass.

–

In real effort, we

Each have time to teach,

As others weigh what we may say…

On what it says to each.

–

For me, I am aging,

No secret there…

It chronicles a state of mind

And not just loss of hair!

–

My Lord and King, Jeshua,

Jesus Christ, for gentile ears…

Has bid me to walk with Him

Glorifying Him through my tears.

–

And yes, I like the Ladies,

And redheads best of all…

Admittedly my Mom was one

And me, before “hair-fall”.

–

I emphasize the worth of men

And women in God’s eyes…

That certain ones I marvel at,

Should come as no surprise.

–

Trains, science, other stuff

To fill in the cracks…

Find something new to write about,

I’ll give it my best whacks!
