Just a Teacher​

​

'A Tale of Change'

​

She's the unsung hero,
Just a teacher,
Too tired to sleep,
She's up before dawn,
With the robins,
She's on her feet.
​
She writes 'till night,
Like a poet,
Then slowly drifts off,
She's works for pennies,
Sleepwalking,
She don't give up.
​
But hey darlin',
Rest those eyes,
You seem so tired,
But you shine so bright.
​
She's the strength of a queen,
She's a carer,
Who cares so much,
From the girl she holds,
Who's crying,
Daddies passed on.
​
And the boy who's sad,
He's lonely,
He don't fit in,
So she says he's perfect,
And proud,
And can be anything.

But hey darlin',
Don't hide those tears,
I know you're hurtin',
But heroes can get scared.
​
She's a storywriter,
She's a nurse,
She don't give up,
She's a painter and a chef,
She's a runner,
It's all for love.
​
But hey darlin',
I hope you know I'm proud,
You make the difference,
In a world that's gone so mad.

She's the unsung hero,
Just a teacher,
Too tired to sleep.
