Today
is
not
just
another
day
It’
s
a
reflection
of
the
light
you
bring
To
every
room
you
enter,
Ruth
Listen
closely
Today,
I
celebrate
a
woman
who
carries
a
classroom
in
her
heart
A
woman
who
keeps
dreams
alive
for
every
child
she
meets
Ruth,
you
are
more
than
just
a
teacher
of
the
facts
and
figures
You
don’
t
just
teach
lessons
from
the
dusty
pages
of
a
book
You
teach
the
spirit
how
to
soar,
you
teach
them
hope
You
teach
courage
when
the
world
feels
far
too
cold
You
teach
discipline
to
those
who
struggle
to
find
their
way
You
teach
these
children
to
believe
that
their
dreams
are
possible
Because
every
morning,
you
walk
into
that
classroom
Not
knowing
whose
life
you
are
about
to
change
today
But
someday,
one
of
those
children
will
look
back
With
a
heart
full
of
gratitude
and
a
mind
full
of
memories
And
they
will
say,
there
was
a
teacher
who
believed
in
me
And
that
teacher,
my
love,
will
be
you
Yes,
that
teacher
will
be
you
I
know
your
work
may
sometimes
feel
so
tiring
I
know
your
efforts
may
sometimes
go
unnoticed
by
the
crowd
I
know
your
sacrifices
may
never
make
the
evening
news
But
believe
me,
the
seeds
you
are
planting
today
They
are
taking
root
in
the
silent
soil
of
human
potential
They
will
grow
into
lives,
branches
of
success
you
may
never
fully
see
But
they
are
there,
reaching
for
the
sun
because
of
you
Because
every
morning,
you
walk
into
that
classroom
Not
knowing
whose
life
you
are
about
to
change
today
But
someday,
one
of
those
children
will
look
back
With
a
heart
full
of
gratitude
and
a
mind
full
of
memories
And
they
will
say,
there
was
a
teacher
who
believed
in
me
And
that
teacher,
my
love,
will
be
you
Yes,
that
teacher
will
be
you
So
today,
I
want
you
to
know
the
truth
I
see
you,
standing
tall
in
your
calling
I
appreciate
the
weight
you
carry
on
your
shoulders
I
am
so
proud
of
the
woman
you
are
becoming
May
God
give
you
strength
when
you
are
weary
May
He
give
you
peace
when
the
days
are
long
May
He
guide
your
steps
as
you
guide
the
future
Because
every
morning,
you
walk
into
that
classroom
Not
knowing
whose
life
you
are
about
to
change
today
But
someday,
one
of
those
children
will
look
back
With
a
heart
full
of
gratitude
and
a
mind
full
of
memories
And
they
will
say,
there
was
a
teacher
who
believed
in
me
And
that
teacher,
my
love,
will
be
you
Yes,
that
teacher
will
be
you
Keep
planting,
Ruth
Keep
believing,
keep
shining
The
world
is
different
because
you
decided
to
teach
We
are
all
watching
you
bloom (
Music
swells
and
fades
out
with
inspirational
orchestral
strings)
