A Tutor’s Heart
 

The screen lit up, and a little girl appeared.
Beaming with joy, she greeted, “Hello, Teacher!”
A tiny, cheerful chatterbox with lots of stories –
So full of energy, she took away my worries.
 

The next one was a bit older than the first.
A quiet boy who won’t meet the teacher’s gaze.
Reserved but polite, and oh so attentive.
Gentle and naïve, I’d teach him in a heartbeat.
 

Then came this teen who was quite a handful.
Needless to say, he had my brain cells all in a tangle.
One moment he’s sugar; the next he’s spice.
A tutor would struggle – no matter how wise.
 

The adult student was the most intimidating of all.
A wee bit more mature than the tutor, she’s very capable.
But whatever it takes, I must not waver.
This is my job; I have a goal, and I must not falter.

Years and years, and thousands of faces I have met.
Years and years, most of them I’ll never forget.
Shattered at times, but I remain steadfast.
For teaching is my life’s CALLING – not merely a task!
