Dear Sir

by amelia   Nov 11, 2006


It's difficult for me to pretend
That I am not upset or sad-
It's hard to say that you leaving me
Doesn't really hurt that bad.

You've inspired me to be
So much better than i knew-
Everything about me
could be surmised in you.

I could live a thousand years
yet never realize...
The comfort I've often found
from the look in your eyes.

You were a great teacher
Fondly known as Dr.Fern,
You never pushed in the subject...
You always inspired me to learn.

It's devastating to find
that the thing i value most
will soon be just a memory
or worse, even a ghost.

But the worst part you see
is still yet to befall,
watching you leave me
is the hardest part of all...

So forgive me if I
Do cry for a while...
And don't hold it against me
if I can't leave you with a smile...

Because you held my happiness
In the palm of your hand,
And not having you around
Is more than I can stand...

Now you leave me
with memories of what used to be
An empty classroom
Is all that I can see.

Sir, you'll always be remembered
As someone just & kind,
& you'll forever remain
In my heart & mind.

To Dr.Fernandez who had to go away... you were more than a teacher ... you were a friend !

    U can't understand how much I can relate to this poem...not the teacher part but the friend part. You spoke the words I couldn't. It makes me want to cry..
    Thanx

    It was beautiful. =) I loved it. Very nice and sencere. I can't say that I know how it feels... but I know when a teacher becomes a friend and it's something real, because those are the last people you expect, yet once they're there, you realize what they're really like, it makes you think differently. As if... Why had I not noticed this before? or... Why had I not been friends with them earlier. Anyways, if any of that makes since, which it doesn't, heh... I think it was a good poem. = ) Nice job.
