Clock in at 3 pm
I see you walking…
The PE teacher ingrained
Our eyes connect and we light up
Do you recognize me?

You show me
As we hold onto the railing
How to touch my toes…
You instruct the gym class as we walk back.
In your room
I tuck you in for a nap
You ask for me to stay, just till you fall asleep

You don’t sleep long
There is a class to teach

Dinner and Snacks you eat on the fly
There is a class to teach…
Every person you pass by,
You show them how
To touch their toes

Always a smile
Bedtime is near

9pm is the special hour
I will never forget our special time
At the sink brushing your false teeth
I leave you to run and get a sheet
I come back…
Birthday suit and a wash cloth on your head
We laugh till we cry
I tell you I love you my dear

I tuck you in
I stay till you fall asleep

As time goes on
Your walks get shorter
I know fate is near

3 pm clock in
Helen?
Will you always remember me?
