wrote this for Jared's 1st Grade ( 1N ) teacher,
Mrs Neilsen, at the end of 1998. She was a
wonderful, caring teacher with all the children,
during their first scary and exciting year
at school. |
M emories come and memories
go, but
R ight now they're clear in my
mind'
S oon I'll move on, but be
certain that
N ever will I have a teacher
so kind.
E very gift that you gave me
I s locked in my head, even
though
L ots of
times it may not seem so.
S omehow you
managed to prepare me, for
E ach hurdle the future might
show.
N aughty Cloud, I managed to
avoid, that's sure
G iven, I sometimes was under
much pressure.
R eading a gift that will
always endure
A nd Writing, a gift I will
treasure.
D ancing and Acting, Show and
Tell,
E ach talent you drew from my
depths.
O nly we knew the
"butterflies" that I felt
N o one but you could banish
the fear.
E ach day's experience will
soon be forgotten, but
N estled somewhere deep in my
soul
I s the joy you have given and
the doors you have opened
W hile leading me out of the
fold.
I head to the future one step
at a time,
L iving the lessons you
taught me,
L et's not forget bugs, fish,
toads and the like
M any creatures I hid but you
caught me!
I 'll remember the patience
and love that you have
S o long as my memory will
allow.
S ince we all grow up and
forget with time
Y outhful pleasures and joys
that abound.
O ver the years I'll continue
to grow
U nder the influence of your
kindness and love.J.M. Furner
