Appreciation

Our last meeting

I rehearsed my part

I read my speech

you looked on with pride

I'm proud, too

I can sing and read in a different language

from ancient scroll with no vowels that sort of smells bad

I can't thank you enough

you've helped me grow

learn

experience

without you

I would be nowhere

without you

I wouldn't know how amazing your crepes are

especially with maple syrup and raspberries and blueberries

the perfect, thin, folded treat dusted with confectioner's sugar

I will come visit

I will miss you

I will remember you with respect

honor

joy

thank you.

    well, actually I did

    fulfilling my orders

    moved by my hand.

    flying, soaring, leaping

    dancing across the page
