Blessed are you who take the time
To listen to difficult speech,
For you help me to know that
If I persevere,
I can be understood.
Blessed are you who never bid me to "hurry up",
Or take my tasks from me,
for I often need time tather than help.
Blessed are you who stand beside me
As I enter new and untried ventures
For my failures out weighed
By the times I surprise myself and you.
Blessed are you who asked for my help,
For my greatest need is to be
needed.
Blessed are you who understand that
It is difficult for me
To put my thoughts into words.
Blessed are you who with a smile,
Encourage me to try
Once more.
Blessed are you who never remind me
that today I asked the same question twice.
Blessed are you who respect me
And love me just the way I am.
Blessed are you!

Graduation
this was emailed to me by a person that had visited my pages about my daughter.
By the time I got around to finishing the page I had lost touch with the person but should you visit again, thank you so much for this beautiful poem
Beth has had many wonderful teachers thoughout her school years. But, some have really touched our lives a little more than others.
Christine, Sheila and Diane, I think have the hardest job of them all they have to prepare us to say goodbye.
