OT: Need Teacher Poems

[SalandJeff]

I already posted this on the family board, but didn't get much response.

I am putting together two memory/scrapbooks for dd's kindergarten teachers. The books are from the class. I was hoping to include a poem about teachers, or some quotes.

I did a google search, but wasn't crazy about any that I have come across.

Anyone have any good poems?

I don't know if you are still looking for a poem, but this is what I used for my son's Kindergarden Program....

“WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?”

"Whose child is this?" I asked one day
Seeing a little one out at play
"Mine", said the parent with a tender smile
"Mine to keep a little while
To bathe his hands and comb his hair
To tell him what he is to wear
To prepare him that he may always be good
And each day do the things he should"
"Whose child is this?" I asked again
As the door opened and someone came in
"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile
"Mine, to keep just for a little while
To teach him how to be gentle and kind
To train and direct his dear little mind
To help him live by every rule
And get the best he can from school"
"Whose child is this?" I ask once more
Just as the little one entered the door
"Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
And each took the hand of the little child
"Ours to love and train together
Ours this blessed task forever."

I have found lots of poems on twopeasinabucket site. they have changed the site around I can't remember where they are now on the site. it was pea soup before. We made a scrapbook for my DD teachers a couple years ago and it was quite helpful.
Good luck
