Release a Literate Child

Release upon this land
A child who loves to read,
And you have firmly planted
One perfect, growing seed.

Release upon this land
A child who loves to write,
And you have ensured
The chance for endless flight.

Release upon this land
A child intrigued by thought,
And you have freed
An imagination once caught.

Release upon this land
A child with self-esteem,
And you have empowered
Another mind to dream.

~Sigmund A. Boloz

I Dreamed

I dreamed I stood
in a studio
And watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used
was a young child's mind
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher;
the tools she used
were books and
music and art.
One was a parent
with a guiding hand
and a gentle, loving heart.
And when at last
their work was done
They were proud of what
they had wrought.
For the things they
had worked into the child
could never be sold or bought.
And each agreed she
would have failed
if she had worked alone
For behind the parent
stood the school,
and behind the teacher
stood the home.
~Ray A. Lingenfelter
