A GIFT OF SONG
Written by : Jill Fantin ã
( 8x10 Print - J2239 )

A very special blessing © Is the lovely gift of song

God singled out a precious few to whom those gifts belong.
In touching heats with tenderness through each melodic word
Feelings treasured in the soul can magically belong.
The calming of the spirit comes in comfort and in love . . .

Opening the Heavens © like and Angle's voice above.
For sharing joy is evident © with every sweet refrain ©

Soft, lovely impressions © that forever shall remain.
Often there's a message in each carefully planned out measure
Notes from out of paradise . . . . A song that's sung for pleasure. A
Gift that's give n to the soul © to last the man hours
For lovely song is to the heart
like spring rain is to flowers.

( 8x10 Print - J2227 )

God bless my eyes so that I may see
The needs of the children…whatever they be
Help me to see in a group of so many
The heart that is hurting © if there should be any
Give me Your grace © when it comes to decisions
So that I may have strength to enforce our provisions
Help me display in the way that I live
The kind of example I try so hard to give
In all that I say and in all that I do
May they sense Your spirit © May they recognize You…
And in this new age where our Faith seems forbidden.
Please make Your love known © so Your ways won't be hidden

Most of all Lord, ©
As I face each new day
Tenderly guide me
In
Your special way.

( 8x10 Print - J2225 )

* This print fits in a 8 x10 Heart mat .

It takes a lot of patience to teach drama day by day
And to impart the knowledge you have gathered down the way.
In teaching of your talents to your students you impart…
A rare and special quality © that comes right from the heart. ©
You dedicate your after school hours many days.
With expression and perfection in directing all our plays
Building sets and coordinating every small detail…
Laying down a plan that makes it hard for us to fail
Rewarding us with compliments © and when our shows are through…
Comments on performances make us so proud of you.
Your patience and your guidance make you special and unique
New ways to feel our scripts and proper ways for us to speak.
Though our dress rehearsal is a flop before the play
You can count on us to make you proud
On opening day!

PRE-SCHOOL

( 8X10 Print - 0308)

P laying with my new friends at my school is so much fun
Rhyming words and make believe, we skip, we jump, we run.
Everyday is special and my teacher is so sweet.
So each day at my preschool becomes my favorite treat.

Coloring and painting are my favorite things to do
Heartfelt memories are grown, there's always something new.
On the floor we play our games and sit and read a story
Or pledge allegiance to the flag, our Nations pride and glory.
Learning creativity as well as self expression
Preschool days have touched my life
And

left a deep impression.

Graduating kindergarten will be quite the step ©
And we keep finding brand new ways to drain our teachers pep.
Ready for a new day…having fun with “Show and Tell”…
Then colors and the alphabet © until we learn them well.
Especially important is our teacher whose so caring ©

Every night I day a prayer of thanks and
At the end ©
I ask God to protect you, for you are my

Friendly faces greet each other with a happy smile.
It's a time for little kids to play and talk awhile.
Ready for the fun and learning new songs we can sing.
Second grade will soon be here…new books and everything
T eaching us more reading and more writing…spelling, too .

Games to play, it's time for lunch…there's always something new!
Recess time and field trips, too…so many ways to share.
A teacher with the patience of a Saint to love and care.
Do's and don'ts and rights and wrongs…we learned…we laughed…we played…
Exciting things we “Big Kids” do…when we reach first grade.

Retiring from all the years of thoughtful words and deeds.
Encouraging young minds and meeting other's wants and needs.
Taking time to see that things got carried out as planned. ©
I nvesting time in “times of need” you seemed to understand!
Ringing bells and hustle bustle! Every hour was full. ©
E nforcing laws and teaching them the timeless “Golden Rule.”
Dedicating those long years to nourishing each mind. ©

Preserving times so dear and leaving others far behind.
Remember © you will take with you fond memories to last. ©
In heart © they'll always stay alive © though joy of them has passed!
New roads that lie before you now shall lead you to new things.
Cherishing the sweet reward that well-earned freedom brings.
If your talents and your influence have left such an impression ©
P erhaps the years ahead will hold a place for their expression…
A s special people like yourself © just seem to have a knack…Of
Leaving trails of kindness that find ways of
Coming back!

Ringing of the school bell © It's time to be at class!
Elected to the grueling job of “who will flunk or pass.”
Trying nights of test papers and figuring each score…
In time to catch a little sleep to face each day once more.
Ready © energetic kids that keep you on your toes.
Exactly how you make it through…Only heaven knows!
Doing extra duties for the money you will earn…

To try to hold their interest and encourage them to learn.
Eventually you'll try to rest © perhaps there'll be a day. ©
A nd then there are meetings after school! And sports! And P.T.A.!
Could there be things you'll miss? As your retirement draws near?…
Hearing laughter © seeing smiles © the memories through each year.
Even though the book is closing on the life you knew…
Remember new and treasured times unfold in joy
For you!

UNITY

( 8x10 Print - 0196H )

( Specify the Teacher . . . He Or She Or They )

I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child's mind
And they fashioned it with care.

One was the teacher, the tools he used…
We're book, music and art.
The other a parent's guiding hand
And a gentle, loving heart

Day after day the teacher toiled
With a touch that was deft and sure
While the parent labored by his side
And polished and smoothed it o'er.

And when at last the task was done.
They were proud of what they had wrought
For the things they had molded into the child.
Could neither be sold or bought.

And each agreed they would have failed.
If either had worked alone
For behind the parent stood the school
