Before the Year's First Bell

to teachers everywhere

Upon walking into an unfamiliar room
confronted by strangers with scrutinizing eyes
and prejudicial proclivities,
Apprehension is apt to search
for traces of malice and hints of disdain
whereas Poise looks to win the
hearts and minds of the unacquainted
and make friends where before there were none.
