Today like millions of other Canadians,I went to work.
I didn't design a beautiful skyscraper,
I didn't write a proposal to save an endangered species,
I didn't drive a bus or fly a plane, or
write a crucial bill that would someday become law,
However, I did spend time with some very important people.
I read a story to an attorney,
I sang the alphabet song with a Supreme Court justice,
I ate lunch with a pastor,
Patted the back of an engineer until he feel asleep,
Taught a policeman how to tie his shoes,
And introduced an astronaut to the color red.
Tomorrow, who knows whom I'll meet, but one thing is for sure…
They will be very important -
For they are our precious children, and the hope of our very future. |
