    WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?
    Author Unknown

    "Whose child is this?" I asked one day
    Seeing a little one out at play
    "Mine", said the parent with a tender smile
    "Mine to keep a little while
    To bathe his hands and comb his hair
    To tell him what he is to wear
    To prepare him that he may always be good
    And each day do the things he should"

    "Whose child is this?" I asked again
    As the door opened and someone came in
    "Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile
    "Mine, to keep just for a little while
    To teach him how to be gentle and kind
    To train and direct his dear little mind
    To help him live by every rule
    And get the best he can from school"

    "Whose child is this?" I ask once more
    Just as the little one entered the door
    "Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
    And each took the hand of the little child
    "Ours to love and train together
    Ours this blessed task forever."

     

    Unity
    By Ray A. Lingenfelter

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

    One was a teacher:
    the tools she used were books and music and art;
    One was a parent
    With a guiding hand and gentle loving heart.

    And when at last their work was done,
    They were proud of what they had wrought.
    For the things they had worked into the child
    Could never be sold or bought!

    And each agreed she would have failed
    if she had worked alone.
    For behind the parent stood the school, 
    and behind the teacher stood the home!
