My Teacher
I came to you with an open mind
that you kindly filled with wisdom
And as I grew, so did my knowledge
all because you cared
When there were times I didn't fully comprehend
the patience and attention you showed me
Gave me guidance and confidence in myself
all because you believed in me
I come to you now with respect
that you have earned unconditionally
Some day I hope to make you proud
by wisely practicing
all that you have taught me
