  9. A Closing Thought I dreamed I stood in a studio And watched two sculptures there. The clay they used was a young child’s mind And they fashioned it with care. One was a sixth grade teacher: the tools she used Were books and music and art: One was a sixth grade parent with a guiding hand And a 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 they would have failed If they had worked alone. For behind the parent stood the school, And behind the teacher stood the home. By Ray A. Lingenfelter An Elementary Principal
