My High School English Teacher

Recalling fond memories from the past is something that I occasionally like to do...
And there are tons of great memories when I think about you.

You probably don't remember much about me...
And the positive influence you had you probably didn't see.

There were many things that you used to do...
Things that were just uniquely you.

You were a special influence I want you to know...
And I carry those memories wherever I go.

I think God for the encouraging things you used to do...
And allowing me the privilege of rubbing shoulders with you.
