Unseen In the Classroom


In the quiet hum of the classroom’s embrace,
I pour my heart into lessons, a labor of love,
Crafting worlds with words, igniting minds,
Yet in the shadows, my efforts go unspoken,
Like whispers lost in the rustle of leaves.
Each question a spark, each answer a flame,
But when the day ends, and the lights dim low,
I wonder if anyone sees the fire I’ve stoked,
Or if my passion is just a flicker, unseen.
Celebrated small victories, nurtured their growth,
Yet accolades slip through fingers like sand,
And recognition feels like a distant star,
A light I reach for, but never quite grasp.
But in the halls of silence, my heart feels the weight,
Of unacknowledged hours, of battles fought alone,
Each lesson a testament, each student a victory,
Yet here I stand, a ghost in my own story.
With hope stitched into the seams of my soul,
For every child who learns, every mind that expands,
Is a triumph worth more than the world’s applause,
And in their eyes, I find my worth, my cause.
For in the hearts I touch, my legacy lives on,
And though the world may not always see,
I know the truth of my journey,
And that is enough for me.
I stand before eager faces,
I’ve woven dreams into the fabric of their minds,
I am the architect of futures, the guide in the dark,
But still, I rise with the dawn,
So I’ll keep teaching, keep shining my light,

A Poem For all Ages - MGS

I write a poem that makes the world see,    a woven thread wherein hearts can be free. I write a poem that older folks feel,    echoes of wisdom, truth that is real. I write a poem that the youngsters think,   a spark of imagination, a vibrant ink. I write a poem that made the world known,   in verses and stanzas, our stories are sown. I write a poem that makes the world blue,   a reflection of sorrow, a true glance. I write a poem that makes the older folks cry,   for memories cherished and moments gone by. I write a poem that makes youngsters mourn,   for dreams that have faded and hopes that are torn. I write a poem to make the world healed,   with love as the balm and compassion revealed.

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart.  If you don't like what's on your plate,  don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate.  Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A  gift from the earth, a battle won.   Imagine a morning when the table is bare,  what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare.  The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed.  When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches.   Don't dare to wish!  So, before you discard what you do not desire, think  of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire.  Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on  those who have little, on lives we protect.  So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For  the food on your table, let appreciation grow.  For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
