Energy, passion
flowed from his manner,
his words, his motion,
his attention to detail,
his bringing us with him
as he told the story.
So willing to spend the time
to share the news of their promise
their potential, being met
growing together,
in the same classrooms
seeing their learning side by side
Wall broken down and
barriers overcome
together,
side by side
normal
