Voici

in a land flowing of milk and honey…

you loved books,

together we searched for this quote

we searched thru your bibles

and amidst books of royalty,

you always said you’d rather read a book then watch t.v.  

if you had to then you’d watch book t.v.

in your book of phonetics,

that you said most were probably nonexistent now-a-days

you taught me how to speak French

your tongue touching the roof of your mouth, 

the style of rolling r’s,

the most influential man I ever met, a chef at Nino’s

he was on the market floor when you walked into the store that day

you mentioned you were a French teacher and he so kindly with the best intentions for me

asked if you had any students and before you could answer he called me to the floor to meet you

we began our friendship,

you were such a meaningful woman H.M.
