I Am A Teacher

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 leans 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 regonize 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 a children laugh

I am a dietician assuring they have lunch or from mine I gave that half

                When we seen to stray from values, I’m become a ustazah

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

I’m proud to say, “I am a teacher.”
