You Have Taught Me Well
This was published in the alumni magazine at some point.
You opened your doors
And let me in
I was young
And you taught me well
They now want to celebrate your graciousness
You are not about celebration
You are too grand for that
You have taught me well
I live with your teachings daily
That I am alive is my salute to you
We are aware of that
And this gathering is but idleness
It’s a shame you cannot speak out
Harmless, yet ultimately useless
Some shall speak of the absence
But it is to you that I listen
I am here for you if you need me
You will speak, as you have, when it’s time
My profession is your praise
There is nothing else
I love you
Without you, I cease to be
Without us, you
Harmony is beautiful
A step back slows the tune
I sing proudly your hymn
It’s the only song I know
It continues and changes
Yet never ends
You have taught me well.
