Teacher

A name other than my mother

That I owed why I am better

Taught me

to recognize those letters

So I can write

MY own future wiser

Taught me how to count

So I wont waste

My time messing around

Taught me

How to solve problems

That when I came

across them

I dont have to skip them

Taught me to achieve

The impossible ahead

So when odds

Are over my head

Still I was able

To thrive and move ahead.
