WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

Today, right before I left Cate's classroom, I picked up a poem that had been left for all the children's parents. It was by Naomi Shihab-Nye, a Palestinian-American who is the unofficial poet laureate of Arbor.

The poem may be found here, but I suggest you grab a box of tissues before reading it.

Between tears, I now appreciate my mother's and father's ancient eyes.
