Scaffolding

As a teacher,
Scaffolding means providing high support
with high standards
a support to eventually be taken away
leaving a learner empowered to self-direct

As a novice saw-holder
Scaffolding means making sure you know how to use it
and being allowed to make mistakes
with the guidance of a brilliant teacher
and a loving dad

Somehow I got lucky
To find in you a dad
caring, loving, giving
You always have our back
Smiling, you may pick a silly fight
in the garb of a trog(lodyte)
Always smiling
Ever knowing
About this world we live in
You know only too well
You can get the world
But don't lose your soul
Thanks for giving me the chance to try something
Hard core today
Love you, Daddio!
