The child lines up his teddy bears
to teach them ABCs.
He guides them gently in the task,
"The way Miss Smith taught me."
"We learn to share, hold hands in line,
protect and help and hug.
At story time in the media center
we find our place on the rug."
The profits from our nation's schools
aren't measured with nickels and dimes.
Our future's there within those walls --
let's polish them 'til they shine.
