Work Today

A working day

As usual today I go off to work,
Rarely do i get moment, At all to shirk
Up and down ,round and about
Turn left and right , I do shout
Hour after hour it's all the same
Passing the test becomes a game
Being as patient as possible in my car
Hoping they 'll listen and then go far
Some try hard and some don t care
I wonder how I' ll ever get them there
The hour ends and off they go
Leaving me to get on with the show
A Turn in the road ,another reverse
Finding their worst points to rehearse
I don t want to again, comes the cry
Practice makes perfect is my reply
Some want to drive just for the thrill
Others ! Will they ever start on a hill
Drop me there and pick me up here
That's no problem but change that gear!!
I m more than teacher of any kind
Confidences I keep and I don' t mind
I worry and fret time is running by
I have to work harder, well I' ll try
Show me, tell me ,the questions ask
I m nearly at the end of my huge task
The time has come I can do no more
Just sit and wait to hear the score
Fingers crossed have I taught them well
Waiting for the result so I can tell
It's never good to hear the word fail
Dealing with that is another tale
Today it's a pass I know for sure
That great big grin I ve seen before
So now it's over my work is done
I hope they remember we had some fun
Goodbye I hear and now they are gone
I must remember it's time to move on
Today is different and I ve been bought
A gift that I know took some thought
Faith restored you know who you are
The appreciation when you left my car
Tomorrow I ll go to work with a smile
Your freedom 's for life mile after mile
Loose your sight and loose your speed
I know my advice you ll always heed
