The Mentor how gently you have let me in by kindness and good deed how breathlessly you wend me in by words those which I heed a mentor you were meant to be teacher of values respected I am but one student of thee your words to hundreds directed mayhap Merlin’s cloak you wear or Socrates’ books have held never mind, ‘tis truth you share as ignorance is by you felled I learn more by you, dear Sir than any student in your realm so please then be thus assured you’re the Captain at my helm we shall brave the water’s wake or soar the skies of yore roam the plains for inherent’s sake or wander the great lakes shores between the times of yesteryear and into the future’s days you shall teach and we shall hear as we look beyond the haze how gently you have let us in by kindness and good deed how breathlessly you wend us in by words those which we heed |

Oh boy I get to be first! I learn more by you, dear Sir than any student in your realm so please then be thus assured you’re the Captain at my helm This was another "keeper" and it is funny that so many of us are sailing on the same ship right now isn't it? I am so glad he knows the way, for sometimes I am very lost. You write of faith beautifully, and of course, your mentor.  ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ |

we should all have such a mentor...and perhaps the greatest one of all is inside ourselves when we take the time and stop..listening for the words that lie just under the surface... well written tribute... and as usual... very captivating |

we shall brave the water’s wake or soar the skies of yore roam the plains for inherent’s sake or wander the great lakes shores Wonderfully said, O Lady in White... Many regards, Sudhir |
