**dear Sue

Rating: 4.9


A tribute to my teacher:

Dear Sue,

From your golden curly hair
To three-inch, pretty shoes
From the glint in your eyes
To the spring in your step
From your luminous smile
To the vivacious air
I watched in awe
For six whole weeks
How you lit up a room
When you waltzed in!

You preached us daily
To surround ourselves
With good virtues
And personal values
You taught us earnestly
To be enthused
Even when faced
With tedious chores
You guided us patiently
To fearlessly pursue
Career goals in galore
And some more!

At the end of this journey
I stand alone – Reborn
Ready to take on
New challenges and trials
With a glint in my eyes
And a spring in my step
For I carry you in my heart
As a secret shield!

I solemnly swear to remember, Sue
What you said about good attitude
Thank you for being in every ounce
The phenomenal woman that you exude!

You were lucky indeed, Deva, to have such a fine teacher in your formative years - not only a teacher of the three Rs, but more importantly, I teacher of civility and ethical values. I know you'll never forget her - you have immortalized her in this loving tribute. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
