The Best Teacher I Ever Had

I will never forget you,
Your bright smile
Your demanding eyes
You excpected the best of me
So I tried my hardest around you.
The reason I am who I am today
Is partly all thanks to you.
You were the best teacher I ever had
I learned so much in your class
So many skills that will never leave me
Your picture is still crisp in my mind
From the two thirds of a year you were my teacher
I miss you so much.
Thank you
For everything you did in my life.

    and brightly lit

    with all

    he will ever need

    when beside him

    there is a girl

    stumbling through

    a dark hall

    unable to find her way
