The Teacher Bought the Crayons

The teacher bought the crayons.

The kids drew what could be.

The Teacher Bought the Crayons begins at a checkout counter, with a teacher paying for the colors twenty-six children will use to imagine their futures.

A former student comes back to wire the science wing. He still remembers the teacher who made room for his questions.

“You always had good questions.”

“You let me ask.”

This country-rock anthem carries that gratitude into a demand for the time, tools, pay, and voice teachers deserve.

“Put your promises in paychecks.

Put some meaning in that talk.”

For the teachers doing the work. For the children full of questions. For every parent, former student, and neighbor ready to stand beside them.

The teacher bought the crayons.

Now the whole room raised its hand.
