As I’ve struggled finding the words to say
You’ve become my Poet of Love
As I’ve heard you cry out loud in the night
You’ve also sung the melodies of a dove
As I’ve battled these constant fears
You’ve created my Sanctuary of Hope
As I’ve listened to your dreams
You’ve inspired me to cope
As I’ve behaved in temperamental ways
You’ve reincarnated my soul
As I’ve felt your extraordinary spirit
You’ve incited my reserve controls
As I’ve slowly watched the world go by
You’ve carved an insignia on my heart
As I’ve awoken from my enclavered coffin
You’ve been loosening the nails
As I’ve been too self-indulged
You’ve begun taking receding steps
As I’ve caressed you in my mind
You’ve needed me in the flesh
As I’ve been learning from you
You’ve begun to make the lessons harder
As I’ve been accustomed of your faith in me
You’ve been taking on a different scholar
As I’ve walked the Long Valley of Hope
You’ve been there to redress my spurs
As I sit here and marvel in the miracles you brought me
You are now moving on to be someone else’s Teacher
