Where are the folks
Who would inhabit my daydreams
Like Old St. Jean rustic painter
Young Pierre gardener poet
And Sister Mary Anastasia teacher extraordinaire
Where are the folks
Who could coax from out middle school boys
The more creative siblings
To Confusion anger and embarassment
Draw them out and nurture them
Like curiosity passion and self-awareness
Send them to the good fathers of prep schools
Graduate them from primary to secondary grades
Really initiate the rocket of their verve
Toward careers as students fathers lovers and friends
To be worth their weight in loyalty
Able to shoulder their responsibilities
To serve and serve well
While paying attention to their own spirit
To be able to render to their sisters
And their brothers of the spirit
A personality showing
Assistance leadership and achievement
Where are the folks
Who would inhabit my daydreams
Like Old St. Jean rustic painter
Young Pierre gardener poet
And Sister Mary Anastasia teacher extraordinaire
