I am a counselor and psychologist to a problem-filled child,

I am a police officer that controls a child gone wild.

 

I am a travel agent scheduling our trips for the year,

I am a confidante that wipes a crying child’s tear.

 

I am a banker collecting money for a ton of different things,

I am a librarian showing adventures that a storybook brings.

 

I am a custodian that has to clean certain little messes,

I am a psychic that learns to know all that everybody only guesses.

 

I am a photographer keeping pictures of a child’s yearly growth,

When mother and father are gone for the day, I become both.

 

I am a doctor that detects when a child is feeling sick,

I am a politician that must know the laws and recognize a trick.

 

I am a party planner for holidays to celebrate with all,

I am a decorator of a room, filling every wall.

 

I am a news reporter updating on our nation’s current events,

I am a detective solving small mysteries and ending all suspense.

 

I am a clown and comedian that make the children laugh,

I am a dietician assuring they have lunch or from mine I give them half.

 

When we seem to stray from values, I become a preacher,

But I’m proud to have to these people because…

 

I’m proud to say, “I am a teacher.”
