When the Gods are Smiling
Sometimes, when the Gods are smiling…….. and the Stars Align
Somebody very special touches your life
And leaves an imprint that they may never be aware of
and that you might only come to understand yourself far in the future, when once again
the Gods are smiling ………. and the Stars align
Our Children have told us about just such a person
Someone they love , someone who has always been happy and nice
Someone who taught them about Texas …and to Read…. and to Count to 100
But most importantly – someone who has taught them to enjoy school
And to take pride in learning
But we didn’t have to hear our child’s words
We saw it in their eyes….
In their excitement as they dressed for school
In the pride they take in their school work
And while listening in amazement
As they read to us at night
Now this first year of school is ending
“Graduation” is within a week
and all will move on to a new year
With new teachers and new students
But somewhere down the road
When the child becomes the parent
And prepares to send their own child to their first day of school
I can imagine them remembering their very special Ms. Horner
How much they loved their time with her
And I see them making a small prayer, As they walk their child into school
That the stars will align …….and the Gods will smile
and their children, that they love so much
Will meet their very own Ms. Horner
