Teachable Moments

© 2012 Dana Norberg
Into the classroom my students bring
hopes, fears, experiences, preconceptions
to learn a language not their own
but the teachable moments are mine
as they share struggles, troubles, disappointments
yet holding fast to dreams that brought them here


students bring hope
to learn language unknown
holding fast to dreams
