This week school started
Children back in their classrooms
Masks are required
Teachers wear their masks
Most children are feeling safe
God bless our teachers
Some must test daily
States requirements differ
God bless our teachers
Some still distance learn
Listening to a screen is hard
Harder than up close
Virtual lessons
Leave many students outside
Levels of comfort
Not all the children
Have the proper equipment
Nor their private space
Some live in chaos
Choose invisibility
Fearful of teasing
The choice should be theirs
But how do teachers teach blanks
God bless our teachers
Embrace our teachers
They yearn to be close and touch
Give encouragement
Send a thank you card
To a teacher in your town
Appreciate them
Times are difficult
When masks and distance require
Such separation
Some things must be taught
Up close, very personal
COVID-19 SUCKS!
Please
Send a thank you now
To a teacher in your life
Embrace your teachers!
Thank you for your prayers
for my bruised face.
It’s getting better everyday.
Pray for our teachers!
They have a tough assignment
in the midst of this pandemic.
They need our love and support.
And parents, please, set a loving example
for the sake of your children…
No more fighting!!
when they see their parents fighting
In the news this week
We saw some parents slugging
Over mask ideas
The damage to kids
When adults behave like this
Is so long lasting!
10 Effects of Parents Fighting in Front of Children

There is a family history of teachers on my Dad’s side. My grandmother taught country school in Nebraska. My Dad and several of his siblings were educators.
