YOU are the molders of their dreams

For those who have no taken Health 4100, we watched a movie on Guy Doud. He was a teacher of the year from Brainard, MN. He was able to meet Ronald Reagon while he was in office after winning his teacher of the year award. Reagon read this poem to Doud.
This poem was read to Guy Doud by Ronald Reagan (Author Unknown).


Teachers

You are the molders of their dreams
The gods who build or crush
Their young beliefs of right or wrong.
You are the spark that sets aflame
The poet's hand or lights the flame
Of some great singer's song.
You are the god of the young, the very young
You are the guardian of a million dreams
Your every smile or frown
Can heal or pierce the heart
You are a hundred lives, a thousand lives.
Yours the pride of loving them
And the sorrow too.
Your patient work, your touch
Make you the gods of hope
Who fill their souls with dreams
To make those dreams come true.
