Thank You

My credit to you, is endless My foundation, you have built My manner is not mine, but yours For a mould you had taken And shaped you had, a person that was foreign to me Until my foot, entered your door Another year, was not yours to claim My tenure with you, was sadly shortened Though my gratitude, can be no others For in my time, your teachings were impeccable To create my own path, I learnt Unfortunately away, was my path's direction One person, has earned no greater respect than the other For although my eyes saw, difference Through my heart, was passion felt Each lesson overwhelmed not with dread, but joy As those who stood representing you, whilst the masses sat Stood not for their own accounts, but for the accounts of those seated Growth, will my appreciation not stop For your grounds, I may walk no more Though in every act, my mind will reminisce Of the times that I had been gifted, wearing your tie Helping another, with no benefit desired As it was one of the many qualities, you instilled in me My depart, is not easy to accept The label of your best student, may not be mine to own But the honor bestowed upon me, by the allowance of my presence Has proved nothing, but remarkable As with pride, can I only leave And a 'thank you', is all I can return
