A child is born into a world foreign and new
Arriving today with a bright future to view
Long before a child enters school year number one
Blessings come from many for a daughter or a son
Parents bring the beginning of learning home each day
Offering nurturing love and teaching with plenty of play
Others step in to provide valued assistance along the way
Teaching from grandparents and others with much to say
A book becomes a timely, precious, and vital gift
Learning to read will open up a life—never adrift
The preschool years finally arrive and go
Seeking ways to seek, discover, and grow
A Sunday school teacher speaks of God’s love
Enriching a young heart with Spirit from above
Kindergarten and elementary school now await
Inspiring and faithful teachers remain at its gate
Yes, it certainly takes a village to teach a child
Educating a young mind each day is God’s style
Indeed, a child’s education is greatly dependent on his/her surroundings. I like this and great rhyming!😊

Thanks for sharing a thought. I totally agree with you. Much of my poetry is written in this rhyming style; however, I change to a different style once in awhile.

Just yesterday I was listening to several of the Sunday School teachers at church sharing several “Ah-ha!” moments that their students had experienced. So rewarding!

One could write a book filled with these “ah-ha” moments. Hmm, I think that you are already doing this with your life with Gracie!
