“The Math Teacher”
She talked about her teacher there –
Said, “Drop the fear – you’ll better fare;
Perfection is a silly thought,
So knock it off, show what you’ve got.”She heeded his advice, it seems,
And did quite well – 100 means.
There’s far more in our living rooms.
Once cleaning help moves in with brooms.She’s off to university,
Excited to an adult be;
She’s left her teens behind at last,
House-cleaned what’s best left in the past.“Self-taught we were at school”, she said,
“Within the guidelines we were led
To find ourselves, move in, and be
Ourselves – with authenticity.”Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
