Two Uplifting Things to Share…

I was watching One Tree Hill last night, and Kate Voegel was singing this song, and it touched me…I love it…Here are the lyrics.

 

Sweet Silver Lining

I'm going home
Downhearted and hoping
I'm close to some new beginning
I know
There's a reason for everything
That comes and goes

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
I may be weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing
In clouds with that sweet silver lining

Most days
I try my best to put on a brave face
But inside
My bones are cold and my heart breaks
But all the while
Something's keeping me safe
And alive

Chorus

I won't give up like this
I will be given strength
And now that I've found it
Nothing can take that away

 

The other thing I wanted to share was a poem given to me by a parent…It made me cry…

 

I Am a Teacher

I am a counselor and psychologist to a problem-filled child

I am a police officer that controls a child gone wild

I am a travel agent scheduling our trips for the year.

I am a confidante that wipes a crying child's tear

I am a banker collecting money for a ton of different things,

I am a librarian showing adventures that a storybook brings.

I am a custodian that has to clean certain little messes,

I am a psychic that learns to know all that everybody only guesses.

I am a photographer keeping pictures of a child's yearly growth,

When mother and father are gone for the day, I become both.

I am a doctor that detects when a child is feeling sick,

I am a politician that must know the laws and recognize a trick.

I am a party planner for holidays to celebrate with all,

I am a decorator of a room, filling every wall.

I am a news reporter updating on our nation's current events,

I am a detective solving small mysteries and ending all suspense.

I am a clown and comedian that make the children laugh,

I am a dietician assuring they have lunch or from mine I give them half.

When we seem to stray from values, I become a preacher,

But I'm proud to have to be these people because…

I'm proud to say, "I am a teacher."
