Eyes eager
Eyes anxious
Hands clenched
Hands trembling
Body restless
Body limp
I cannot wait
Voice feverish in excitement
Voice silent in fear
Faces bright like the sun on a summer morning
Faces withdrawn like a flower without sunlight
I can’t wait for the what’s to come
I’m not ready for what’s to come
What will the results be?
I am a caring teacher
I am a harsh mentor
My rewards are bountiful
My realities are painful
I am a chance
I am a gamble
I can fulfill
I can destroy
Are we worth it?
