Dedicatória da professora de Inglês

You’re very special

You are rare flowers
sprouting up from the classroom floor as if it were
a desert after winter storms.
The masks "teacher" and "student" fall away,
and it is simply you and I.

You’re very special
and you should know.
How I loved to be your teacher,
how fast the time did go.
I wish that you could visit me,
as through the grades you go.
Try hard to learn all you can,
there’s so much to know.
The one thing that I tried to teach you
to last your whole life through,
Is that you are YOU!

Your English teacher
