In life's vast classroom, there exists a sight,
The Expanding Blackboard, a canvas so bright.
Innocence reigns as children stand tall,
Empty blackboards awaiting lessons to install.
With fervent curiosity, they step through the door,
A universe of knowledge, an endless, wondrous floor.
Letters, numbers, and dreams take their place,
As life's vivid colors start to interlace.
Consider the case of young Timmy, so shy,
His blackboard once empty, with fears in his eye.
But a teacher's encouragement, a mentor's grace,
Turned his dark board into an inspiring space.
And there's Sarah, whose board bore scars of despair,
Yet resilience and love brought her strength to repair.
Each eraser's rub, each chalk's gentle stroke,
Transformed her blackboard, hope awoke.
But heed the caution, the choices we make,
On these fragile blackboards, what imprints we stake.
For harshness and cruelty can leave lasting scars,
While kindness and guidance can reach for the stars.
So let's cherish the power, the gift that we hold,
In shaping these blackboards, both timid and bold.
With wisdom and love, let our lessons unfurl,
And watch as each life becomes a beautiful swirl.
The Expanding Blackboard, a metaphor so grand,
In life's vast classroom, let compassion expand.
With stories to tell, and futures to find,
May we fill each blackboard with treasures of the mind.
