As you stand before me your presence washes a quiet and gentle calmness over me .
Bursting with a worthingness to prove myself to you, I look into your heart and I see who I can truly be .
Hand in hand, heart to heart, I walk with you. I know I will always be guided and my worries will melt away.
You observe me behind those patient eyes and smile. Remembering the student in you from days not so long ago.
A mentor, a kind friend and a gift of grace you will always be with me.
