The teacher's eyes gathered colours about The cultured garden scene she knew so well; She likes the section flowers nicely sprout Her hidden world where varying colours jell. Achievers pride she takes with all her heart; Like outstanding pupils she proudly groomed. But scrappy lazy ones, never seems to start, She wished them luck and left alone to bloom. The sun regardless shines on all juniors. The bright ones, the brats she pitied a lot. Through years and wise by age she remembers, Oft visiting her those she had forgot, Those she loved and cared have whittled away. But strugglers now trees they weathered to stay.
