My Teacher

Shall I forget,
He that stooped to see me climb?
Shall I forget,
He who now rests on the arms of eternity?

He was a manly man,
And even as he lieth beneath the grass,
As food for the worms,
I will forget him not,

For he was my Teacher!

Few words, but quite a powerful tribute. So sorry for your loss. Love, Shar
