Five Days a week
Three hours a day
I had 17 children.
I was their mother
I helped with their homework
Fed them snacks
Cleaned up their messes.
Bandaged their boo-boos.
And in turn
They relieved my stress
Gave me new perspective
And best of all
Showered me with love
Its so funny,
The personality of a six year old
So full of emotion
that adults experience everyday.
Yet the complexities of life
are absent from theirs
which allows them to be transparent
With feelings, apologizes
Joys, sorrows.
I taught them, but really they taught me.
