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
