Substitute Teacher Role

Dianne Wright 1955 (Lynn, MA)



When in doubt, just ignore and steady your look
Keep in mind that you may write an interesting book.

If you let things happen as they will,
Focus on the horizon and just be still.

A smile on your lips and peace in your heart,
Today's your chance to perfect this random part.
