Mrs. Schaffer,
You've helped me so much,
Now it's my turn,
But I don't know how,
I’m such a clutz.
I needed you so much,
As the child I am,
You have done that so well,
To make the man I am.
I'll need you later,
Then you won't be there,
I'll be so sad,
I pray for your care.
Now I’ve told you,
Just what I think,
That you’re so nice,
I don't want to blink.
Robert Hall
