TOUCHING THE FUTURE
I don't wear power suits,
make speeches,
or drive a fancy sports car.
I've never talked on a car phone,
made a big sale,
or been elected to the Senate.
I don't "do lunch",
have a big impressive office
or carry a beeper.
I spend my days wiping away tears,
giving hugs,
and serving chicken nuggets.
A good day is when I go through a
whole day without a temper tantrum,
bite mark or a toilet training accident.
My "office" is a room full of brightly
colored toys and laughing children.
You may not think that what I do is
very important and you may even whisper behind my back
"What a waste of a good mind."
But I know better.
I make a difference
because I'm changing the world
one child at a time.
Everyday I'm getting the once in a lifetime
chance to touch the future.
I'm proud to say "I'm a child care provider."
