Thank you for
Being my teacher
I've never forgotten the lessons
They reached me
Even when I was a rebel
Gathering knowledge
And wisdom
Was my refuge
You may not
Remember
All those moments
Of literary pleasure
I buried myself in
Shakespeare and poetry
Words and language
So creative
I still remember
Our conversations
About the poem, "The Horses"
By Edwin Muir
It was the beginning of my
Self discovery
My ability to intuit
Deeper meaning
You gave me time
You gave me praise
You gave me courage
To be myself
And to this day
Despite everything
I remember you
My lovely teacher
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
I thank you
From the bottom
Of my heart, mind
And soul
Never forget
The ripples of good
You sent through
The Universe
Never forget
That you are a part
Of the good moments
Indelible and beautiful
My story would be
Incomplete without you
Without your essence
Without your presence
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Always
And forever
I thank you
Mr Buisman
Blessings and
Best wishes
And a very happy
"Happy Birthday!"
