Teacher

Teacher

heard

her heels

click, click, click

on out the door

four years

up and down the hall

heard

her heels

click, click, click

seemed she

always knew

where she was going

click, click, click

a planner by nature

a worrier by birth

a corrector by habit

she was a mentor

to a kid

who needed mentoring

and the books

she gave

were magic

“It was the best of times,

it was the worst of times …”

and I’ve missed her

O how much
