The Worthy One

I’ll tell you this story about a teacher

Who some would refer to as a preacher

She was assertive and strict sometimes

From her good mornings to her goodbyes

She taught her students very well

They didn’t even know how to spell

But now in their classes, they excel

She even got them outta their shell

In diligence, she stands pretty tall

She was the sharpest of them all

Some would say she was too kind

She helped the pupils use their mind

Right within them, she would find

Talents that her students left behind

She carefully assisted them to grow

They worked together and weren’t slow

All their stress, she would throw

As the arrow flies from the bow

She pushes them forward, cuz she knows they can

Take their thoughts to the sky like Peter Pan

She swings their studying mood like a fan

Teaches them responsibility like Spider-Man

She also gives them time to play

Sometimes after class, they stay

With all their attention span they pay

That’s how they like to spend their day.

Out of all the teachers, they loved her most

They know she is the only one they cannot ghost

They can never enjoy it when she was gone

Knowing that she was the worthy one.
