Dear Stranger,

I watched you from a distance,
seeing all the smiles
that all your pupils showed me,
it stuck here for a while.

Although I never knew you,
you gave me a reason why,
that kindness was a quality
you'd always follow by.

I thank you for this kindness,
although you don't know me,
but if you heard me say it,
I know that you would see.

I'm the one you supported
for about five days of fun.
I never got to say "thank you",
but you compare to none.

So if you hear this rhyme,
I'd know that for a while.
I  wish I could have known you,
and known your gentle smile.

So... This poem is dedicated to someone, yes.
It's dedicated to my school's former theater/drama teacher, who gave me the opportunity to go to Disney World in Orlando, Florida with my school's choir.  I never got to know her, but I guess this poem will be my "thank you" to her.
She passed away today.
God bless you, Mrs. Bettler. <3
