Beloved Teachers

Dear Teachers

If this is the last time we talk

If this is the last time we hug

If this is the last time our eyes meet

If this is the last of you and I

If this is it

If you go before I go

I will be okay

I want you to know that I will be okay

If I go before you go

I will be okay

I want you to know that I will be okay

Beloved Son

If this is the last time we talk

If this is the last time we hug

If this is the last time our eyes meet

If this is the last of you and I

If this is it

If you go before I go

I will be okay

I want you to know that I will be okay

And when you seek the unanswerable

Know that I am with you

I sit with you

And as I sit with you

As they have done with me

My teachers sit with you

And you will be okay

I know you will be okay

And know that I know that you will be okay
