Mr Rattighan
I wanted to study and you were the only one who gave me a chance
You agreed at one glance,
without looking at my grades,
Other teachers said that I would fail
you disagreed
and said that I would sail
You have taught me all that I know
You taught me to fly
And the day you went I froze.
Just before you passed away I told you that you were the best teacher ever
you have changed my life forever
For my late teacher
1999
