I owe to you

I owe to you

A Poem by Darby Rae
"

OLD

"

The teacher who opened my eyes,

the one who looked inside my heart.

 

She showed me a world,

a world I could create.

 

She pulled me out of my simple mind

and led me to a world beyond my dreams.

 

She let me explore the very ties,

that connected reality and make believe.

 

I was a lost confused little girl

walking around in to small of a world.

 

Then she gave me a book and sat me down,

in a little place where no one made a sound.

 

There my eyes opened up

and all my creations slowly crept out.

 

Her room became something comfy and familiar,

it was my safe haven, my shield protecting me from the world.

 

She once gave us a project,

to describe a place we liked.

 

I worked hard into the night,

just to impress the teacher I liked.

 

When she heard me read it, it astounded her really

and I cherish her words so very deeply.

 

Those days were the best,

but sadly good things never last.

 

And now I’m getting older,

and those days are starting to fade away.

 

But somehow I still remember,

the one who showed me how to be myself.

 

To walk above the world,

to never change who you are.

 

I owe that to you,

If it wasn't for you I would never have become me,
