to the woman who taught
who taught me over and over to be patient — I now know that they don’t just wake up one day and become the butterfly.
who taught me that inner beauty is most attractive — I will remember that planting roots is more important than flaunting the blossom.
who taught me that birds recognize natural beauty — and that’s why they chirp and sing when I walk outside.
who taught me to let go of fear and be brave — I will always believe that faith the size of a seed can and will move a mountain.
who taught me that change starts with me — I will trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy than to trust and obey.
to the woman who taught, please don’t stop teaching
