Symphony of Learning

 Inspired by a line from James Thomas Stevens' poem "St. James Lake."

Knowing, how our own song

completes the chorus

Ah,

the classroom

a symphony of learning.

I am the conductor,

I suppose,

but so much more 

           because I am learning, too.

Learning how to use ideas

Learning what will work

          to move them forward

Knowing technical stuff,

          but mostly human stuff.

I get to do this.

To hear the music of each class period

How it rises and falls

How it give me life.
