Versifying Gratitude
MAESTRO YESU BEN
Who do I owe my gift for words that I
utter them in flowing ink that defies
the rules of quatrain with such arrogance
as to neglect my duty on errands?
Why do I have to feel obligated
When all I do is observe what's imbued
In the thread, laid down for me to embed
In the woven canvas of gratitude?
Challenge my mind, my muses in quatrain;
Search my knowledge, the context of my brain;
For everything I've learned, each word I write;
I am, but slow and shrewd to make things right.
To Yesu Ben, with all your plenitudes
In teaching skills, I owe my gratitude.
