22. Unity Author Unknown I dreamt I stood in a studio, And watched two sculptors there. The clay they used was a young child’s mind, And they fashioned it with care. One was a teacher, the tools he used Were books, music, and art. One a parent with a guiding hand And a gentle loving heart.

23. Unity Author Unknown Day after day, the teacher toiled, With a touch that was deft and sure. While the parent labored by his side, And polished and smoothed it o’er. And when at last, their work was done, They were proud of what they had wrought. For the things they had molded into the child, Could neither be sold nor bought. And each agreed they would have failed If each had worked alone, For behind the parent stood the school And behind the teacher the home.
