letting the best out


a leap, and the footing?


I believe in every student, in every class,
I particularly joy when the evidence before me
fully and deeply supports my belief in my students,

I will continue to leap with my faith
with no sureness of the footing beyond,
I thank my stars for how often I find solid ground,
as my students find the way to succeed
in letting the best of themselves out,

would that our politicians would do so well.
