Goodbye

I knew you would be leaving

But I didn’t know so soon

It was hard to say goodbye

But none of us are immune

The world is a different place

It’s different from before

I want you to be safe

So please all stay indoor

I hope I’ve taught you well

Made a small difference

With memories in your mind

You’ll remember a fond experience

At times I had to feed you

But that was just the start

I’m not sure what will happen

I hope I played an important part

When you left I cried

I’m not ashamed to say

You always smiled at me

Even though you struggled each day

As a teacher I just don’t teach

I love, care and guide

I’m the law in your hectic life

But you knew I have a soft side

I’m there when you are broke

Putting you back together

I’m there to catch your tears

You are in my thoughts forever

Now as the uncertainty begins

And I won’t see you again

Be sure I’ll have your back

And I’ll never forget your name
