The father I never had


Your class was a sanctuary of positivity 

I never felt left out or out of place 

You gave me advice that I couldn’t get anywhere else 

I saw you more than I saw him 

You inspired me to go to college and pursue my dream 

I thank you for what you do to not just me but all the kids 

You were the father I never had
