It has been so long
Since our last goodbye.
Thinking of you
Still brings to mind
The lines from a song,
"You touched my life
I touched the sky"
Time
Cannot fade away
What you meant to us.
We feared
We loved you more.
The stern look
That could change
To a soft smile
In the blink of an eye.
We waited patiently
for that endearing sight.
It haunts us still,
How unbelieving we were
How hurt,
when you left.
We begged
for you to stay.
Just a little while longer.
But it was not to be.
Today,
As grown men and women
We know
How you shaped us,
To be better
Than the best.
And the stern look
gives way
In our minds.
Seems endearing somehow.
We were young.
We believed,
You would meet us
someday again.
The years have dulled the pain.
of waiting .
Yet not a day
Goes by
Without a mention
of how -
You touched our lives.
We smile,
We share
Memories of you.
After all this time
We are left with
these mere words...
"Dear Sir,
Thank you............."
.
.......dedicated to the man who shaped our lives............
