Teachers
Paint their minds and guide their thoughts Share their achievements and advise their faults.
Inspire a love of knowledge and truth
As you light the path which leads our youth.
For our future brightens with each lesson you teach Each smile you lengthen - each goal you help reach.
For the dawn of each poet - each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher and the wisdom they bring.

Laid to Rest Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery ~ Little Falls, Minnesota
God saw she was getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around her
And whispered “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer,
And saw her fade away
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.
Hard working hands put to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.
