On the way to the memorial <br />For a wonderful teacher, <br />I took time to notice <br />The daffodil’s blooming, <br />The robins playing in a puddle, <br />The cherry tree blossoming with beautiful pink flowers. <br />I remembered back to the time <br />My kids and I <br />Walked that same route <br />When they were young, <br />And I remembered us seeing <br />Cats and butterflies, <br />Seeing dogs and even a little horse; <br />I remembered life, not death <br />And I think he <br />Would have liked it that way.<br /><br />Connie Webb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-memory-of-a-wonderful-teacher/
