Poem: First Day (2017)

First Day

by

Raymond Tyler


I am confident, yet a little scared

I am happy, yet a little anxious

I am excited, but with a little trepidation

I hope for the best, yet prepare for the worst

I feel satisfied, yet want so much more

I fear not learning from my failures

I love who I am but still wish for more

I wonder if I can keep my childlike curiosity 

I dream for the stars, but I’ll probably miss the moon and hit 
Mars 

I am so far from perfect because I see my faults reflected in the mirror

I am entrusted with greatest mission

I am a teacher
