• When they asked me why I am a teacher, I said,

    Because I yearn to teach.

    When they asked me what I yearn to teach, I said,

    The words between the lines.

    When they asked me what the words were, I said,

    As finite as the thoughts that ponder.

    When they asked me what those thoughts were, I said,

    A forest of pensive paths.

    When they asked me where those paths led, I said,

    Toward tomorrow's lights.

    When they asked me why I am a teacher, I said,

    Because I yearn to teach.

    When they asked me who I yearn to teach, I said,

    All the lights of tomorrow.©hscz2011
