 When we stride or stroll across the frozen lake,

 God Made Teachers

 Knowledge, And Our Need To Be Led 
 By someone wiser;

 Someone who would accept 
 The Challenge Regardless Of The 
 Opposition; 
 Someone who could see potential 
 And believe in the best in others . . .

 Two More Days Till School 
 I'm finally going to school this year, 
 and now the big day's almost here. 
 I'll learn to write and count and read-- 
 Only two more days till school. 
 I got new pants and shirts and socks, 
 a brand-new red and blue lunch box; 
 I'll paint and sing and dance and play-- 
 Only one more day fill school. 
 My hair is washed, my sneakers squeak, 
 I'm so excited, I can hardly speak! 
 New things to do, new friends to meet-- 
 Hooray! It's the first day of school!

 To help them as they grow, 
 Let this gift remind you, 
 You're the best teacher we know!
