Magic Moments
By Lisa Margo Faerman Herman '76
Teaching.
Holding 25 minds in the palm of my hand—
Bright, eager faces—like sunflowers,
Following my every movement.
Hostile, angry eyes challenging me to
Disappoint them,
Yet again.
Open, curious minds, hoping to tread
On new territory.
Trusting, yet, nervous, souls—
Awaiting the unknown,
Wondering if they will succeed.
Yes, let me help you.
Yes, let me guide you through a year
To find yourself at the end of a
Rainbow.
