She Taught Me Poem by Monita Soni

She taught me to smile
To hold tight at night
To conquer my fears

To thank God
When we waited
for the traffic light To change

She taught me the civil war
American presidents
Musical notes

To laugh at quaint jokes
.......for hours

To run up and down the Streets of Parrreee
To greet The Popa
Count the gattee numerose.....

She taught me to let go
To stay up at night
Make up poems
Paint.........

Just get away
Accept life’s challenges
With a smile........

She taught me!
