Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis
it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.

I ran into this adjusted Kipling poem on the site for a local football team. I thought that the use of the old poem for new meaning was a fantastic idea. I've been wanting to save it.

I found this poem for the first time engraved into a simple wooden plaque. To be honest, I know this is perhaps not so much a poem as a mantra or life philosophy. I still love it.

Every time I read this part of this poem, it reminds me forcibly that students have hearts, and they have minds, and our responsibility as teachers goes so far beyond what we can imagine when it comes to protecting and nurturing those hearts and minds.

Even more, when I read this I feel the terror a child whose trust has been abused must feel. Another mental reminder. 'kids' of all ages are fragile.

A sigh. A sad sigh? A happy sigh? I love that he doesn't say. Only the indication of the deep feeling.

My favorite Frost poem. It's required for our students, but I often wish they would more deeply realize how much it points to their own lives, and the decisions they make.

Although it's a well known poem, I simply had to use this particular Frost poem. It speaks to my soul. Who hasn't made decisions in life, wondering even at the time what the end result would be?

I guess the project on poetry got me thinking about some of my favorites, so I have a bit of a theme going on in my links that has to do with poetry with a team building or nurturing/teaching theme. It was interesting to use the note ability, but I did get frustrated at time with the highlighting tool. Overall, I can see a very practical use for this site, if I can access it from school. It offers opportunities to prep certain sites before their use.
