Supervisors Are Wonderful People

We hear your call, in yard or hall,

Our vigil ever keeping,

We guard the little, and the tall,

Our eyes are never sleeping.

You chatter, chatter, as we come

To sort out all your trouble,

And when, at times, our minds grow numb,

Our efforts we re-double.

We soothe your fears, we dry your tears,

Your worries we uncover;

We carry on for years and years,

We're like a second Mother.

We walk about, both in and out,

With here, a child who's crying;

We don't complain, we NEVER shout,

You do not hear us sighing.

When cold winds blow, we stand in snow,

'To Please' is our endeavour,

For children come, and children go,

But WE go on forever.

We share your joys, immune to noise,

We really are quite clever.

We're drained of strength, by girls and boys,

Yet WE strive on.....Forever !!!.
