I have always loved this poem. It really sums up how we feel about our students. They are our children. As a child growing up with a mother as a teacher, I resented “her kids.” It was not until I got older and became a teacher myself with my own “kids” that I truly understood how my mother could call them her own.
This poem by an “unknown author” is even more poignant as I think of those selfless teachers who died protecting their students at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It really hits home because we all know, that we would do the same. They are our children, too.
I shared this poem with my students’ parents. I wanted to do whatever I could to ease their anxiety and let them know that I too would do anything for their child.
I have included a girl version of the poem in both styles.
With love,
Erica Bohrer

Thank you for sharing this. We are blessed to be in this profession--one in which, far too often, the tangible rewards are few and criticisms many, yet one in which the intangible blessings are immeasurable, the joys & triumphs countless. What other profession involves this depth of commitment and giving of the heart, lasting well beyond the child's length of time spent in the classroom?? We encourage, console, nurture, and discipline our students--loving and praying for them far into the future, long past the final school bell in June. My prayers are with all at Sandy Hook and in the town of Newtown, CT.
