My Mentor

A great power in my life

Wonderful teacher to aid

Helping me through all my strife

Here when I’m brave or afraid

​

Words that penetrate quite deep

Becoming a constant friend

When I smile or when I weep

My broken heart, it will mend

Always changing, different

Yet still the comfort I need

From harsh world, brings deliverance

Time to time need to reread

Taught necessary lessons

To me throughout the long years

Silently answers questions

Both my teachers and my peers

My constant companion

Treating me with compassion
