Back-to-School Beatitudes

Blessed is September for it shall end August.

Blessed are those who buy school supplies, for they shall learn patience. 

Blessed are the poor in pocket, for they shall be called parents.

Blessed are the school bus drivers, for they shall deliver us from car pools.

Blessed are the teachers, for they shall hunger and thirst for silence.

Blessed  are the lunch makers, for they shall inherit the leftovers.

Blessed are the school nurses, for they shall wipe tears and apply Band-Aids.

Blessed are the memo writers, phone answerers and child finders,  for they shall be called school secretaries.

Blessed are those who bake for bake sales and chaperone  field trips, for they shall be called room mothers.

Blessed are those who send them off  to school, for they shall be called lucky.
