Masterpieces

I guess all I am really saying is ~

I promise to see you as you are

real and strong and weak

quiet and loud

happy and sad

good and bad

but most of all

perfect in your own individuality.

You are each one of you

works of art in progress.

You are excellent

just as you are

even though

there is much yet

to be formed and shaped

and perfected.

You are the hope for our future

You are the reason for us to teach.

And ~ about being that work of art in progress ~

Well, you are all masterpieces ~ to me.
