I dreamt 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 usedWere books, music, and art.One a parent with a guiding handAnd a gentle loving heart. 

UnityAuthor Unknown

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, their work was done,They were proud of what they had wrought.For the things they had molded into the child,Could neither be sold nor bought. And each agreed they would have failedIf each had worked alone,For behind the parent stood the schoolAnd behind the teacher the home.
