I WISH I AM A TREE

I wish I am a tree,

With roots holding strong, even though it's windy.

I wish I am a tree,

With flowers so beautiful, the eyes can see.

I wish I am a tree,

With fruits to give, to someone hungry.

I wish I am a tree,

With leaves to cover, when it's hot and rainy.

I wish I am a tree,

With branches that can hold, even though it's heavy.

I wish I am a tree,

With memories to leave, no matter how old I maybe.

But we are not trees....

We are teachers-to-be.....

Teachers are like trees, though....

They are strong, their manners are beautiful, with lots to give to their students and the people around them, the one who protects the students like they are their own children, and with memories to leave to those they taught.....

We are trees, indeed!
