You were the best
Right from the start
You helped to nurture me
With your generous heart.
So much to share
I asked of you
Your smile—Your reply,
It’s only stew.
Full of doubt
I plowed on
And alas there came—My new dawn.
Much preparation on the dock
While I keep one eye on the oven
The other on that darn wall clock.
Your notes of encouragement
Got me through my day
Your ever grateful protégé.
