She Teaches in the Hall

She teaches in the hall.
She teaches in the hall.
There you will find her changing "git"
to "get"
Pulling up pants and pulling down skirts
Sharing a word of encouragement
Scolding without words, just furrowed
eyebrows.
She wears her emotions on her dainty sleeve.
Her heart on display that you may never
question her motives
She smiles when you cry and cries when
you smile
A help to whomever whenever.
She is a mother.
In her womb have winged creatures been
conceived
Some still being groomed, others conceiving
She holds on while they realize their wings
She lets go to prove they can fly.
She puts all of herself in all that she does
When no one is looking.
She is extravagantly humble
She is ferociously kind
She is loved beyond measure
She is Teacher and she teaches in the hall
.
