Teachers

[Angharad]

Of any variety--your guru, a favorite college professor, your dog, your beloved...

This song is dedicated to my Draughn who unstintingly spends his gifts, energy, and love serving the under-served, and feels honored to do so.

[Angharad]

every ounce of you
wrung out in loving discharge 
of your sacred duty

days and nights consumed
budget worries, staffing, goals
for student success

summer sun warms you
you dream of a boy swimming
then return to work

[Lip Service]

Teachers and gurus

Mine says she is not a teacher

She taught me so much

[Angharad]

I relate to this, LS. My Beloved was very humble and had no real idea of his far-reaching impact on others.

his gaze turned skyward
the great oak is unaware
he shelters the birch
