she cried... and cried... and cried...
exhausted or failed to adjust to the school environment,
i could not tell
she'd cried for hours
that she had no more tears left
some teachers tried to calm her down
held her in their laps
hugged her tight
sweet words came out of their mouths
anything they could do to make her stop crying
i'd finished my classes
and was kinda tired too
i could barely handle another crying sounds
but what can i say, i just can't ignore the painful voice
so i tried to hold this little soul
sang her a lullaby, but still she didn't stop
then i carried her to my desk
played a random video from youtube
a young girl on the piano, a surprise symphony from haydn was on
and slowly my girl stopped sobbing
as her eyes were focusing on the video
i kept running the clip for a few minutes
and later...
there she was - peacefully asleep
what a privilege i've got as a teacher
as i could witness this tiny human being rested in deep serenity
here, just here, tightly against me...
and whom i should thank to?
music, who else :)
