Below are 2 poems written by my dear friend Jeremy and Trainer Tina. Really makes me emo! I love them...soooooooo sweet!
A WEDNESDAY POEM (Jeremy)
Wednesday was a middling day
Coming and going with little change
Straddling sullen Monday
(Nothing to call novel and strange)
And mousy Sunday -
Who knew I was in for a sea-change
Wednesday fast became
A blip on the radar
An aperture for acclaim
The raging sea's northern star
When muses are given a name
Transcribing beauty from afar
Wednesday turn harbour
Turning away the tedious tide
Is Cindy's soulful anchor
To Tina's canny guide
Stephanie the sculptor
With Maggie all bushy-eyed
Diane's voice glides,
Sharon stands faith's mayor
And Pamela's where peace resides
Wednesday used to be midweek
Without rhyme or reason
Without quarter or mystique
Now there's magic and motion
Spring from pearls unique
What was before hidden
Is now my favourite season
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE (Tina)
Every once in a while
when the stars were aligned
and good fortune beams down merrily
a humble teacher gets a rare chance
to be amongst students, amongst individuals
who reminds her of the reason
why teaching, her calling, is truly a privilege
Every once in a while
lady luck passes by
and gives her a cohort
that inspires her to do her very best
and shares all that she knows
for she realises, she is but a mere catalyst
for them to metamorph into incredible teachers
whom as a collective, their contributions
will pave the way for a proud legacy
that she alone could never attempt
Every once in a while
the gods smile down upon
this teacher, who in trying to inspire
gets inspired instead
who in trying to teach,
be taught instead
that angels do tread the earth
sent down to make this world a more
wonderful place to be in.
Cindy, Sharon, Jeremy, Maggie, Diana, Steph, Pamela
Every once in a while
the gods gave me people like you
Oh gosh....where's my tissue??? Sob, sob.........
