What I Hope My Students Know Most
What I hope my students know most
Is that I care
You may only
see me
As your
teacher
But each one
of you
Becomes my
kids
Every one of
you
Matter to me
I care
Even if it
seems as if I don’t
Deep down
where it counts, I do
I carry your
burdens with me
I sigh your relief
as well
When you
cry, I cry
Maybe not
always in front of you, but I do
I care
When you
cheer, I cheer behind you
When you are
angry, I am angry for you
When you
celebrate, I celebrate with you
Because you
doing well means I have done well
When you are
frustrated, I am frustrated
When you
succeed, I succeed also
I am right
alongside you
Because
I care
If there is
only one thing you
Take away
from our time
Together
Please know
this
I care
and
You matter
You may not remember
my name
Ten, twenty,
thirty years from now
But I will
remember you
And be
hoping for the best
For your
life
And I hope
you remember
I care
