I Was Your Teacher Once
I was your teacher once.
You may remember me.
I am the chalk dust of memory.
I was the trusted ship you sailed.
You were the promise I unveiled.
I was the show. You were the tell.
I was your magic. You were my spell.
I was the ticket. You were the game.
I was the candle. You were the flame.
I was the curtain. You were the play.
I was the sculptor. You were the clay.
I was your teacher once.
You may remember me.
