Ms Clifford

This poem is very long overdue The words or things to say I just never knew You had so much faith in me when I had none Just a student waiting for the school year to be done But because of you I am who I am today A writer publisher and poet proud to say You are the definition of a dream come true I wouldn't be where I am today without you You were the best teacher I ever had I wish there was a way I could reach you so bad Once I graduated your words of encouragement and belief never left my mind Ms.Clifford you are truly my hero and one of a kind You helped me succeed and be all I can be It was your passion that you carried with you that inspired me You are no longer a teacher at the school but please know I have searched for you Because I never got to say thank you for everything you do It has been decades now but I will never forget how I got to where I am right now So wherever you are it's your turn to take a bow Pat yourself on the back or give a speech or simply take a stand As I applaud you for giving me a dream and lending me a tremendous hand Caring enough about your students and going out of your way Helping me with the present but preparing us for success in the future every day Making sure the foundation of my dreams would some day come true I am so blessed and grateful that I was taught by you You are truly my hero and my creative writing teacher throughout high school The critiques, feedback, criticism was never to hurt me and I found that super cool The manuscripts I wrote, never knew it would turn into a published book Wherever you are I hope that you will take a look You really made a difference in my life and definitely helped me grow Your name should be on the wall of fame or on the honor roll I wish you the very most happiness in the life that you live I hope you accept the trophy for the Best teacher award that if I ever saw you I would give
