Philosophy in a Poem:
More Than One Smart There's stuff that you're good at and stuff that you're not. What's that you say? What's that I hear? Is it really true? Is it what I fear? "I stink at math." "Well, I can't carry a tune." "Gym? I'd rather a bath!" "In language my words are all in ruin." When you say what you say when you say, "I'm not smart, "I tell you, my student, you're at the wrong start. Math, music, gym, language, art, it doesn't matter; There's more than one smart. Do something old. Try something new. I bet if you tried There is nothing you can't do. It goes without saying (Although I will say it) You're the cream of the crop, the best of the best, You'll rise to the top! Cont. >>>>>>>> |
Dream your dreams big.
Don't settle, keep going. Follow your heart; It knows what it's doing. Aim for the brightest star an you'll get oh, so far. Yes, I'm sure of it. You'll be a big hit. For, I taught yolu some things that you need to know, like spelling and adding, science and the origin of snow. You know about the world and of history and fractions, about phonics and songs and strange and wonderful contraptions. If there's a problem to solve, you'll be well prepared to seek out the answers until the right one you've snared. I've helped you to grow, to be creative, confident, and kind; to believe in yourself and the life you'll find. Just remember my message, coming right from my heart: Don't you ever EVER forget, There's more than one smart!
