Ready to Play?
August 11, 2017
Great demands on time
This part of year difficult
On any teacher
Especially when
One is starting at new school
After being out
Of typical role
For extended period
Thanks to accident
Not to mention ED
Spent much of summer away
Working to get well
It's a lot to face
At once for any person
I'm being tested
Will I make the cut?
Survive the obstacle course
Am I up for it?
School starts on Monday
Real adventure will begin
Will I be prepared?
How will I stand up
To constant pressure of role
Endurance is key
This has been problem
Start off strong, then fall down hard
Must avoid the drop
What steps can I take
To help sustain my body
Lost ground already
Time to take a stand
Fight harder, with more resolve
I must be willing
