Twentieth Anniversary

CDC Teacher

How does one count the cost

In time and sacrifice

Invested in a little child’s life

Is it not worth the price?

The preparation too

The hours, the daily task

The ever changing emphasis

She never seemed to ask.

For all the years of time

How could one count the cost?

Each little life so very dear

Not one must e’re be lost

For they’re the ones that count

Not time or sacrifice

She gave the very best she had

They made it worth the price.

Now looking back across the time

It never occurred to me

The twenty years has come and gone

This was her place to be.
