Teacher's Prayer Poem by Martino Fortuin

To chance upon a willing mind
To chart a course and be its guide.
Through endless possibilities seek to find
The hidden treasure, side by side.

To wander down this road together
With you and your, and me and my.
Though it may lead us wherever
And any logic we may defy.

Opportunity courts and demands response
Ideas solicit an embrace.
Chance is there but surely once
We cannot simply our steps retrace.

Many things I will gladly teach
And watch you inch toward your goal
And plead, and silently beseech!
listen and learn and make it whole
