Unity
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 a teacher; the tools he used were books, music and art;
One a parent with a guiding hand and a gentle and loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled, with touch that was deft and
sure,
While the parent labored by his side and polished and smoothed
it o’er.
And when at last their tasks were done, they were proud of what
they had wrought,
For the things they molded into the child could neither be sold
or bought.
And each agreed he would have failed if he had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school, and behind the teacher,
the home.
