REAL LIFE LESSON -
Edward Iacona
To be a student in your class
Was certainly considered a coup
All the kids sure wanted you
And maybe a few mommies too.
Beyond the Three R's you traveled,
Your lessons laced with mirth.
You taught of wolves and wildlife
And conservation of the Earth
Your teaching rings with wisdom
Of heroes and brotherhood
Of standing up for justice for
As future adults they should
Your classroom philosophy
Was so easy to explain.
An ongoing lesson that
Your students should retain
That in living a good life
One should never abstain
From always striving for kindness
And for always being humane.
When dark times came to your life
We listened to all your lows
We took you in like family
We comforted your woes.
Then dark times came to our life
Faced with separation and divorce
I called to you my 'brother'
My thinking was, of course.
I asked that you would mediate
A union that should not be dissolved
Your answer to my tearful plea;
'Sorry, can't get involved.'
One thinks of all the hearts and minds
That you will touch and reach
Maybe you should learn from yourself
And practice what you teach.

Deeply touching... The last verse was a clincher...
