Lessons
I used to wonder why you were so hard on me
Asking the same questions that I used to ask about my mother when I got home
But I quickly learned that over the years, just like her….you saw something great in me?
You were one of the last real educators, that actually taught students and not just supervised as they sat and left them to figure it out on their own
Glad that we forged a friendship
Took me a while to see it but you weren’t applying pressure to me because you wanted me to fail
You were doing it because you knew I had what it took to succeed
We rarely talked after I graduated but I made sure to thank you every time we crossed paths as adults
Now you’re in heaven, soul blessed
You’ve taught me well and I will pass life’s test
Another guardian angel looking down from above
Great teacher, besides the ins and outs of textbooks you taught us love

Your poetry is easily accessible talks about universal experiences; that is its strength. In this one, in particular, I can feel the emotion very strongly.
