Planting the Seeds of Learning
By Janis Kunz, East Sierra Branch
In the classroom the flowers grow.
There are so many things for them to know.
I want to help and guide their learning.
Their seeds need watering, their dirt needs churning.
Soon they bloom and blossom, master new skills.
I find it so awesome, and always will.
I want to know how best to tend, to support, to love and mend,
To bring the sun upon their faces, to be a mentor and a friend.
I build the landscape for them to flourish,
The steps and the paths on which they will nourish.
The vines and limbs, thrive and grow wild.
There’s a place in my heart for every child.
It’s all-round joy as they laugh and grow smarter,
Playing inside the Kindergarten!
