Energy – v2

Energy, passion

flowed from his manner,

his words, his motion,

his bringing us with him

his attention to detail,

as he told the story.

So willing to spend the time

to share the news of their promise

their potential, being met

growing together, normal,

in the same classrooms

seeing their learning, side by side

Wall broken down and

barriers overcome

together,

side by side

student, children

normal in their eyes
