PERFECT TEACHER

The perfect teacher 
is not the one who teaches you 
to add and subtract. 

The perfect teacher 
is not the one who explains
 how you should write. 

The perfect teacher 
gives tools to feel, 
grow, think, and love. 

My perfect teacher 
show me how to do it, 
I will remember her
        always, 
                   in my life.
