I dreamed I stood in a studio and watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child’s mind and they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher---the tools she used were books, music, and art.
The other, a parent, worked with a guiding hand and a gentle, loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled with touch that was deft and sure, while the parent labored by her side and polished and smoother it over.
And when at last their task was done, they were proud of what they had wrought, for the things they molded into the child, could neither be sold nor bought.
And each agreed they would have failed if each had worked alone, for behind the parent stood the school and behind the teacher, the home.
