how full the glass?
should we be thrilled by how well people do?
or judgmental about what they can’t yet get to?
it’s a quandary we live as teachers:
what helps the glass to fill?
what can we do to slow the emptying?
I believe in students,
in their inherent drive to be their best,
and I know that each is a work in progress,
and that construction can be messy,
I love it when the way opens,
and they find the way into their power.

This poem sums up much of my wonderful experience in the Smokies.
Thank you, Henry, for your kindness, wisdom, and clear seeing. I had a wonderful time, Helen
