A Poem for My Students, Part II

Laugh in Bubbles
by Mrs. Carlson

Sometimes
I couldn't help but laugh.
Sometimes
I cried for you.
Sometimes
I was proud as a peacock.
Sometimes
I acted like you,
threw pens,
sucked my teeth.
Sometimes
I bough giant bags of Starbursts.
Sometimes
I read about vampires so we could talk.
Sometimes
I put my whole class on a cart so you could cool off.
Sometimes
I ate my yogurt lunch with you.
Sometimes
I listened to 92Q.

Always
I loved you, and
always
I will pray the best for you, and
always
I hope that you
laugh in bubbles and
dream in symphonies.

  1. Hey Mrs. Carlson, I just found your blog -- wonderful! And, I was forced to comment on this picture, b/c I have the same bag you're holding in this picture!
    You're a brave, wonderful teacher, & your students are extremely blessed to have someone so dedicated to their success! (I can't believe you took some of them camping!!) You're on the home road now. . only a few more months!
