The Gift of the Memorable Child
The child that is my challenge is a gift.
Only she can give me
The gifts of patience, tolerance, and acceptance -
If I let her.
She will be the one to make me into a true Teacher
And challenge my very soul.
I can learn more from this child
Than from much of my college coursework -
If I choose to.
A child is not something that is "broken"
For me to "fix".
This child comes to me a unique individual
Worthy of love - just as she is.
Will I choose to rise to the occasion?
Or be yet another to throw my hands up?
Do I have it in me to maybe be the one
that can make a difference?
Is she maybe the one
that will make a difference in me?
Will I choose to let her?
