She put up with my rudeness,
Tolerated all my pranks.
She endured my endless chattering
With very little thanks.

She focused on the good things
And made me want to try,
But when I fell a little short,
She didn't ask me why.

I'm glad I had a teacher
Who never did give up
But recognized somewhere in me
A diamond in the rough.

When God gives out report cards,
She'll make the honor roll.
Miss Miller really touched a life,
A mind, a heart, a soul.
