"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." --- Author Unknown April 10, 2000 "When the pupil is ready, the teacher will come." --- Chinese Proverb --- Sent in by Gaye Fullerton April 7, 2000 "To know how to suggest is the art of teaching." --- Henri-Frederic Amiel (1821-81) --- Sent in by Sharon Ogden --- Kentucky April 3, 2000 "Parents, keep teaching your children the lessons of life.
