My Favorite Student

I always wanted to have a favorite student.

I had a dream of a student walking in to class with an apple in his hand and a smile on his face.

“Good morning teacher!” he happily says.

He hands in the apple with the biggest smile,

and I can’t stop laughing cause it is actually a pineapple.

But I saw that there are more pineapple students

than I used to think, that most of my students

try and do their best,

and still they sometimes get as close as next.

So now I say out loud

with all my love-

Dear students,

I like you and love you

exactly as you are!

No matter where I go,

or where I look around the world-

My dear,

remember and never forget-

YOU are my favorite, YOU are the BEST!
