Thank You

For Laura V. Four years ago, I was seventeen, a child who was somewhat lost and needed guidance. On the first day of school, you came to me and started a conversation. I wasn't afraid to open up with you. You were my English teacher, but also a dear sister. Back in Summer 98, I was foreign to this place, this country called 'America'. I was like a new plant, you helped me grow. You never did let me die. I was withering away, and you gave me water. You always made me smile. ~*~ Season after season, we've walked different paths. Somehow we've always remembered each other, and reunited at the end of each road. Thank you for keeping in touch with me. Now I am still a child. My heart is growing and will forever be. You are there near this heart, watching me ripen, guiding me so I don't fall. Thank you for always being there from the start. April 6, 2002 Happy Birthday L.This is for a former teacher who has become a friend and a sister to me. Hope she'll read this. Happy Birthday L.
