I see you
And you're not just another face
You're not just a temporary mentor
I don't use your knowledge and forget it along with you
I remember, I know what you teach
Because years of wisdom have cultivated your spirit
And you have helped countless youth along the correct path
Knowing that what God calls you to do
Is an arms length away
Dealing with the trials of life
As if they each led to a new amazing discovery
Taking me, and teaching me
What it means to live in this world
What it means to be an introvert and survive
Showing me the deeper meaning behind things
You're taken for granted, but not by me
Your field of dreams...becomes my dream
My desire to see you happy is overwhelming
My desire to know and be able to teach as much as you have
To take a job that many won't take
And still love it, because you know
That's where God wants you to be
I want to look up to someone
And the few that I have
I name you one of them
A child following your wise words
Mater Lightbringer.
