When I walked
Up the path
With happiness
A glitter in my eye
A song in my heart
Then I really
Didn’t take note
Of you
When calamity struck
And the chord broke
With a tear in the eye
And grief in my heart
I walked along alone
Then I saw you
Dry and dead
Lifeless your arms
But then
You didn’t stop at that
I observed
You pouring life
Greening, growing and flowering yourself
Ready for yet another challenge
Your presence preaching
To believe and move ahead
Life’s a spell and a season
Move with the cycles
Like a stoic and a warrior
You said
Now I look up to you my t(ree)eacher!
