Topic: Fly Away
I've had the opportunity to watch the Special Education teacher in our school work with her class over the past few months. She is so vibrant, loving, and caring for these kids. I've been a teacher for 40 years, and I can tell you she is a very unique and special teacher. Yesterday as I was in her room I just was amazed about how she helps these high needs kids in so many ways. So last night I wrote this song as a tribute to her and all of the teachers of special needs children. I tried to write it as a voice of the children in her class.
Hope you like it.
