A New Life, A New School: A Parent's Poem

Through the eyes of my child, I see a light, brighter than a star, But only since being a part of this school, Can he imagine his future afar.

The self-esteem he had lost one time, The link of life that disappeared, Has been mended ever so gently now, a new face is beginning to appear.

The values and morals so treasured each day, Knits confidence into his ways, But not without the special teachers here, Could his tears be dried from his face.

A mother, a child God's greatest gift, Can now be happy again, So I thank you The Third Academy School, For the joy and laughter you send.

Out to the world the love begings, Past schoolwork, teachers and friends, All it can do in a school like this, Is educate with its special blend.

Goodbye to tears, goodbye to fears, Hello success, and then, A family so tight it cannot fail, For this there is no end.

My thanks and love Dr. Mattu and all, For giving our children the time To know there's more to life itself, "High Standards are Ever so Fine"!
