Your poem reminds me of my own treasured boxes of loved ones passed. They hold pieces of jewelry given to me and letters only I can see. Bottles of empty perfume, old times at the lake, pictures of promises I didn't break. I would love to make three copies of this poem and tape each to the outside of my own 3 boxes. Your poem was touching and heartfelt. I truly loved it.

You're so kind Marikate. Teachers value life more than just life itself.
