Lessons

you taught me a lot of things
the lessons I learned well
it's not that I'm not smart
you know I'm quick as hell
an enigma to my friends
at most things I excel

you taught me how to smile
at the silliest things
to enjoy a smooth latte
it's a Starbucks thing
and to enjoy a love
the kind that your heart brings

you taught me how to dance
as time moved on too fast
I knew you where here for now
not how long we could last
when the dance was over
is when you turned your back

Oh, how sad! Sorry for your loss. It is good to remember the good things. Although sad, the poem is well written. Thank you for sharing. Love and blessings, Caroline.
