With your kindness you get my attention;
Every day you are planting a seed
Of curiosity and motivation
To know and to grow and succeed.

 You help me fulfill my potential;
I'm thankful for all that you've done.
I admire you each day, and I just want to say,
As teachers, you're number one!

I want to tell you that I believe in you;

I believe in your mind
and all the dreams, intelligence,

and determination within you.

You can accomplish anything.

You have so much open to you,
so please don't give up on what you want
from life or from yourself.

Please don't put away the dreams inside of you.

You have the power to make them real.

You have the power to make yourself exactly what you want to be.

Believe in yourself the way I do, and nothing will be beyond your reach.
