Mona Lisa Education
Educated as a young woman,
Became a teacher through choice.
Enjoyed teaching for many successful years,
As a retired teacher I received a lovely certificate.
Photographed with the Director of Education,
Received my twenty-five year pin.
We had a beautiful retirement dinner,
My youngest son was my escort.
My oldest son was studying at University,
Many miracles have guested.
A Mona Lisa passage,
Where I learned English with friends.
We are well cared for as teachers,
I live in a beautiful senior's residence.
I have continued to learn,
Like writing poems and stories.
Become an amateur artist.
Had my own art exhibit where friends and relatives guested.
I was photographed as an award winning poet,
Appeared in the senior's letter and calendar.
What a great honor that is to appear there,
Wrote two books "Living With God" and "The Sounds Of Christmas"
My relatives celebrated my success with me,
They are just as successful and more.
I thank God for all these blessings,
I pray that he continues bless us all.
