There are people in our life
Who do more than money means
Than money matters
Who love by living
Who live life by loving
Who help life by holding
Hands of young children
Young babies
Spinning the world over
Beings in motion
Like gravity and the ocean
The beauty is eternal

Because you give it to others
To grow into flowers
To watch and water over
Pour and pick up
And clear the tears
Teachers with open arms and minds and hearts
Who see my children everyday
Read to my children everyday
Listen to my children everyday
And love my children everyday.
For all of that, and for all you do

Thank you.
