We don’t talk now I understand you are busy Surprisingly, my mind doesn’t plead Your memories to not become a history My feelings for you play silently Arousing everything but sadness And I wonder why there is no void Why I don’t feel cramped Even with your reflection’s occupancy
With you as my guide I discovered the greatness of brains and numbers Honestly, I still feel the awe of it For what use are skills and experiences, if not appreciation I have known being a source of your pride But how come there is such detachment at your end May be your sources kept expanding to the extent That I became a lost fraction of even thousands
You gave me your clothes when I was soaked Laughed and gave me directions when I got lost on the road Gave me the stage to show, and to answer I helped your daughter cross French and English waters But I couldn t help her with German How could I draw a map, when I didn't know the land So I was kicked to the curb, to never be contacted You told me to not become a calculator But I don't remember ever being calculative
And I never held anything against you For the free and reasonable me would never approve Teachers like you are still the reason I like to be a student, through and through.
Students have a few teachers in their lives, but teachers get a lot of students in their lifetime. And I felt the bond is not quite as strong with the teachers as I may have perceived.
