Written 1st of June 2023

I dreamed of a huge ship

 from bow to stern

overflowing with kids

all wanting to learn

We had to fill up baskets

with thousands of balls

bouncing around the ship  

thousands and more

The aim of the game

 learning to work as a team

helping them to formulate

 some kind of well-timed regime

To get the job done

 to all play their part

Be conscious of others

While thoughtful

of their own hearts

I woke up this morning

with a smile on my face

Such a peaceful feeling

 in such a good place

I might not build beautiful buildings

or save people’s lives

My job is simply

 to help children thrive

I’ll never get huge bonuses

or worldly accolades

But grateful for what I do get

 every single day

Loving words of adoration

Said with eyes that shine

“I love you Miss Hill

100 million times.”

Little love notes

drawn just for me

randomly picked flowers

as cute as can be

Expressions of gratitude

that don’t cost a thing

tiny little appreciations

that makes my heart sing

They are continual reminders

 of why I keep going back

Connection with tiny souls

is what keeps me on track

So today I am just grateful

 for an inspiring dream

Nothing nasty

 nothing mean

Hopefully more like that

can come to play

Such a beautiful way

 to start off the day
