GEM OF A TEACHER!
TO "ANN"
My teacher, my friend, nurturing your desire Intent on imparting knowledge you acquire Gallant in heart, graceful in soul Life’s mysteries you eagerly wait to unfold
Captivating ideas, never trivial to pursue Analytical mind enveloping the new With tenacity you comprehend, what needs to attend Vivaciously engaging concepts you portend
Embracing life with a marvelous refrain Disdain twas never your acclaim Epitome of a gem you represent Garnishing a strength that never relents!
Articulate by nature never vain in your stature Infinitely kind, guiding with fervour Mirroring respect, uplifting with zeal Perfect image of a teacher, such depth you reveal!

Not often do we meet people who make a very deep impact in
our lives, but when we do we should treasure them. ANN this
is for YOU! Thank you for coming back into my life and being
a friend. May you always continue to be that guiding light
in the many lives you have touched! "
