That "Spoonful of Sugar"

"One hundred years from now it will not matter
what kind of car i drove,
what kind of house i lived in,
how much money i had in my bank account,
nor what my clothes looked like.
but the world may be a little better,
because i was important in the life of a child,"
was Jolie Kanat's wise words -
and i think so, too...

For what matters most,in the end,is what we have done for others -
not what wealth we have accumulated for ourselves...
and i am glad that i chose to be a teacher -
someone who has many more chances to say "I care"...
someone who is blessed with shaping a child's future -
someone who gets two-hundred new chances to do it every year...

I've done whatever's best and good -
the way i know works best...
the way which, for everyone, is good -
the only way i know, and i could...
for more than 35 years, i've done all i should -
to touch a child's life, and shape it, if i could...

Now that i've come to the last two and a half months -
i'm still trying to make the most out of it and give my best...
so that one day someone will walk up to me and say,
"Thank you, teacher, you have touched my life..."
