Within a bag of teaching stuff
I
saved when I retired
Were
notes and poems by students
To
a teacher they admired.
How
gratified I felt to read
I’d
opened many eyes
To
poetry and novels
(Even
grammar – no surprise!)
Those
students were in middle school
So
now they’re all adults.
I
wonder if my teaching
Had
some tangible results.
No
way to really know, but still,
I
hope they love to read
And
if they write some poetry,
I’ve
done my job, indeed.
