This was written for my choir director, who recently told us he was leaving. I have known him for a very long time, so I wrote him this poem. <br /> <br />The moment you said <br />You were leaving here, <br />My heart broke in half <br />And my eyes filled with tears. <br /> <br />I do not remember <br />The rest of that day <br />For tears blurred my vision <br />And my skies were gray. <br /> <br />Memories started <br />To flow in my mind; <br />The fun that we had; <br />How you were so kind. <br /> <br />I asked, “Why does he <br />Have to leave just now? ” <br />You had helped me so much, <br />I don’t even know how. <br /> <br />I’ll always remember <br />You pointing to your nose, <br />Saying that grandma <br />Would be at the show. <br /> <br />When you finally leave <br />I will be oh so sad <br />For you were to me <br />Like a second dad. <br /> <br />But I will not worry, <br />My spirits not dim <br />For God knows your future <br />And I will trust Him.<br /><br />Aurea Armbruster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-for-you-5/
