A’s, B’s, C’s and D’s,
Jump off page and screen.
Letters that bring joy,
Hard work rewarded.
Letters that don’t.

Expectant young eyes,
Will fill,
Tears of relief or,
Bitter sting,
Of disappointment.

And in their hearts,
We pray they know,
That letters,
Do not alone express,
Their worth.

Their smile,
Their laugh,
That twinkle in their eye.
Their ability to love,
Their presence in this world.

A’s, B’s, C’s and D’s,
Are good,
But…
U,
R,
Gr8!
