You are

more than a teacher

of wisdom…

You are a sculptor

or character,

a builder

of inner strength,

a gardener…

Growing courage

and removing the weeds

of self-doubt.

You teach the heart

to paint

a future that glows

from the success

of tiny, monumental

steps of love,

leading to leaps

of faith

that show those you lead

and love

how to add miracles

to their lives

and to

 your own.
