= **The Teacher Who Never Smiled** =   I walk into the classroom,  My feelings set aside.  I feel frightened,  Not daring to glide.  The rumors I heard,  Were roaming freely inside.   I glance up at the door,  Waiting for a bore.  Everyone went silent,  Staring at the client.  I knew all hope was gone,  My world turned into dawn.  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> Nothing replaced that first day, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> That wretched day that smelled of hay. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> That old stale teacher, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> Who never smiled. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> She looked up at me, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> Her eyes filled with glee. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> I stole her gaze, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> My whole world in a daze. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> As I turned away, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> That grey day seemed to smile. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> Mocking me, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> Of my miserable life. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> All was because, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif">The teacher who never smiled.
