Experienced – Confident – Knowledgeable -

Mary

Greets child and parent with the warm embrace of her smile

Teaches us with a wise and gentle mind

Conjures castles out of store displays

Science presentations out of macaroni

Musical theatre out of five-year-olds

She has given us the precious, fleeting pre-k gift of wonder

Like dew on the morning grass

Diamonds of the young child

Soon past

Treasured ever
