Life’s Mystery

 

My future bright, I headed down my chosen path,

One that would make a difference in the lives of those I faced.

A teacher of young children, I’d make things happen, as I knew I could.

The time had come—the beginning of the school year and my heart raced.

 

I had to be strong and take control.

Face them with pride, it was the only way.

Taking a deep breath, I held my head high.

The words would flow; I knew what to say.

 

Entering the room, they stared at me.

I wanted to run, but knew I must stay.

My inner self trembled, but my outer being remained calm.

If I couldn’t maintain my cool, there’d be a huge price to pay.    

 

I was the one who’d been chosen to change their lives.

My words would mold their future—paint a picture of what could be.

In a melodious voice, I captured their hearts and embraced their minds.

All, my children, I would teach how to uncover life’s mystery.
