Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is saying thank you.
Today’s poem is a thank-you poem to a teacher.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
You're the person that I most admire,
The person that I most would like to be.
Your friendship, like a torch, has lit a fire
Deep within the cave where I am me.
Because of you, I want to be a teacher,
Touching someone's life as you've touched mine.
And when I'm you I'll know just how to reach her,
Giving her the faith that she can shine.
Though you now must leave, and we must part,
A little piece of you remains behind,
Held with gratitude within my heart,
A portrait of a lady good and kind.
You will be part of everything I do;
When I need strength, I'll look inside for you.
