Am I In Love With My Lovely Teacher? ? ? Poem by Wael Karameh

I still remember her…
Standing like an angel next to my chair
With a smile she told me
“Let me see your report card Wael
You know that I really care”.
I showed her all the marks I got and ask
“Why you wrote me that comment
That I am fair and I can give more? ”
She answered me with a tender voice like a breeze
“Because I am sure you have more potential
But you are taking things too at ease”…
She continued her trip to check other students’ report cards….
At that time something strange happened inside me
A volcano of sadness because I let her down
An ocean of happiness because she said she really cares…
That day was my greatest day ever…
I felt I have transformed into a new child…
I was 8 years but in one day I became eighteen…
I put my bookcase over my back and went back home
I did not want to leave the school that day…
I wanted them not to close it so that I can see her
I can show her how I became the guy she wanted
The excellent student she dreamt about…
All the way home her sentence was redundant in my ears
Like a holistic words sent by God to the Christ or to the prophet…
That day I did not eat lunch, I did not play…
I start studying hard, studying became as a pray…
I finished my home works then I studied all my lessons
I was studying with a great joy,
In my head everything was so clear; there was no zone of gray…
I succeeded to become the first in my class at the end of the year…
Because I loved her…I wanted to show it, in this way, to her…
I am in love with my wonderful teacher, with myself…
With my school, with my life, with my future…
With the mind, with the heart, with the nature…
When you love someone, you become a new person…
A fantastic extraordinary creature…
They skipped me the next class
And I could manage to continue being the first...
This is my little story, a way to the real glory...
I became a Doctor and a Poet...
And since that time I believe in good support
In what a simple word can do…
In ambition, in the dream too…
I believe in myself and in woman…
I believe in Poetry as way to God! ! !
As a way to everything true! ! !
