Plimpton, George saved a duckling
And published it in his review
Jack the writer said - 'bless you! '
And Papa thanked him too.
...
[1st verse]
Its power is bright and mighty spirits glowing in the sunlight
Over the rainbow you feel a hand that always touches your heart
You start to smile and faith makes the steps lift you up

The Teacher
THE TEACHER
Teacher is dedicated
To loyal service
Silver spoon not
Not this lot.
For teacher cared,
More for people,
To see truth
In lessons learned.
The chalk white,
On black board,
Hour glass poured
Sand over time
Into fertile minds
Waiting for knowledge.
Priorities are priorities.
Make a choice.
Teacher began work
On the farm
Plowing the ground.
'When great sacrifice is made, know - it requires an answer to a simple question: what will you do to honor the love and the light that resides within you? '
My good friends, wait not for your appointed hour to do something, act now for freedom.
