PREPARE THE WAY
The Windber High School Class of 1955 recently held a 55th reunion in "Our town". Attached is a poem that I wrote for the occasion, perhaps it will provide and insight to "a review of our town".
The most important thought I ever had,
Came from someone who cared.
A high school teacher from a little town,
Whose life she gladly shared.
A teacher's life, she often said,
Was knowledge to impart,
But that is not true she boldly claimed,
As she spoke straight from the heart.
What you are today, is your gift from God,
Are you content with all you know?
Or do your dreams reach way beyond,
Is your stature still to grow?
Her true profession,
She softly told our class,
Was to inspire us to live a life,
Until we've reached the best at last.
What you will become,
Will be your gift to God,
So read and study and strive to learn,
Even though it may seem odd.
Use your ideas,
To be the best you can,
Be a leader in your chosen field,
Not just an 'also ran'.
What is important in you life?
Who trained you to think this way?
Let us thank our teachers from Windber High,
For now and every day.
