Recently a friend and colleague of mine received the "Educator of the Year" award. Many congratulations to Mrs. June Marsowicz! I am moved by the knowledge that many former students nominated this teacher. I am impressed with Mrs. Marsowicz's humbleness in receiving the award. I was so touched by her whole story that a poem just dribbled out the other morning...
You have made many
a worker
a thinker
a kid who could tinker
a reader
a writer
a reacher
You have been
a mother
a pusher
sometimes a gusher
but most of all
an outstanding
teacher
I barged into June's classroom and interrupted her math instruction to read the poem. It was an emotional treat to honor June with my little poem. She was thrilled with the gift; her students were delighted with the distraction and donuts I delivered! This experience propelled me to write a poem for my Goddaughter's and my neice's First Communions...
Congratulations,Neleah and Hannah! I really wanted to fit the word transubstantiation in there some place, but I couldn't do it!
I hope you'll consider poetry as a fitting gift to remember the special happenings in your loved one's lives!
Age of reason, State of Grace
Wearing your faith
on your face
At the table, drink some wine
Taste the bread for
the first time
Let His body start to nourish
In His love
you will flourish
With your family, celebrate
Their beliefs you
demonstrate
Live your life with His respect
Always looking
to connect
Bow your veiled head, say a prayer
A love for you
we all share
Wearing your faith on your face
Age of reason
State of Grace
