Your Legacy

To My Art Teacher

Your Legacy

An artist’s toolbox

That is what you are

Full of wonder and possibility

inspiration is the star

Yellow chalk and dusty fingerprints

Mistakes up in the air

Your forgiving nature carries us

A reminder that you really care

Red plastic scissors

Snowflakes, garlands and even more

You help to shape our world

Encouraging us to explore

Blue pencil, warm in my hand

Tells a story full of wonder

Authenticity carries every line

Your kindness makes us stronger

Violet beads scattered upon the table

Stringing them one by one

Persistence is the key, you said

Quality work, not easily undone

Orange clay in my outstretched palm

Ready to mold my dreams

You help us find belief and compassion

Building up our self-esteems

Indigo paper flat on the desk

Every fold brings something more

We are not 2 dimensional, you say

Uplifting us to watch us soar

Green paint playing on my fingertips

A whole new world to discover

Pour your heart out on the canvas

Your loving nature is like to other

The lives you’ve touched

With all the beautiful arts

We will always remember you

A collage of smiling hearts
