My Favorite Teacher
You taught me many things...
you taught me patience.
you taught me how to fully trust another.
you taught me that it is not about me all the time.
you taught me how to focus on my flaws-
rather than concentrating on the idiosyncrasies of others.
From you I have learned so much...
I have learned how to listen first-
instead of intermittingly recepting the things that moved my selfish heart.
I have learned from you that everything must flow as a process;
I should not be so naive to think that all can and will be fixed overnight.
I have learned to stop dwindling on the past in order to embrace and adequately appreciate
the blessings of my future.
I have learned to use mistakes only as stepping stones-
this has given me the strength to repair my self-esteem and metamorph into a humble being.
I am grateful for your unchanging love and wisdom...
you have molded me to become this woman who is no longer weak and afraid.
in me, you have instilled the courage to start the next chapter in this book of my life.
you are the reason I no bombard my thoughts with doubt and fears of ever being alone.
To me you have been more than i could have ever deserved...
you are a loyal mentor and a forever forgiving friend.
More and most importantly, GOD you are (without a speck of doubt) the definition of true and
unconditional love.
