A Lesson to Learn
(For Giulia)
By Denise Marsh
The ring
The rhythm
The sweetness in your voice
To feel a sense of appreciation
Because of just being
For you, are eager to learn.
I am your mentor
I am your teacher
But you are the reason.
The gratitude you feel
You manifest it
With a gentle look
A smile genuine
informing me
That you will keep learning
Because of me.
You are the reason
You are MY reason
And this is my lesson to learn.
