My answer to a challenge on another poetrysite: write about your teacher. ~*He was a teacher alright*~ Yes, he was a teacher by profession But he also teached me privately At school he showed me the beauty Of lines taking form, of colors merging well He was a teacher alright. At home he taught me the beauty of nature Took me on those Sunday's strolls Learned me to respect life, Even that of bugs He was a teacher alright He didn't punish me much, didn't have to When once in a while I stepped out of line He just ignored and that was the worst He took away the purpose of misbehaving He was a teacher alright Till the day he died he showed me how to live By his nonverbal language of integrity, His honesty and his unconditional love for nature He was a teacher alright My Father. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

'Till the day he died he showed me how to live By his nonverbal language of integrity, His honesty and his unconditional love for nature He was a teacher alright My Father.' I remember his artwork from your Christmas post Titia. Must've been a wonderful father to learn from and grow up with! |

 (dies happy dance) Yay! (friendship hugs) Oh Titia, I believe every parent should truly be the best teacher, sadly that is not always the case and I pray every child in the world can have a loving mother and father to take care of every boy and girl! (big hugggssssssss) This is precious, sweet friend, your father will always be blessed to have you and will always love you, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

He didn't punish me much, didn't have to When once in a while I stepped out of line He just ignored and that was the worst He took away the purpose of misbehaving Titia - how true!
