A Teacher's Saturday

A Poem by Guest Writer Barbara Swander Miller

Pull off the mask of monotony,

allow the joyful voice

of your hidden heart to sing

with gleeful abandon.

Dance!  Fling your arms wide

to embrace the fresh day

with its newly scrubbed face of opportunity.

Then wrap the shawl of serenity

around your sturdy shoulders that

have become round from responsibility.

And sink into the comfort

of warm twilight with its  

flickering light and mellow fragrances  

that soothe, touch and inspire.
