Poetry I was thinking I needed to find a good poem for this issue when a poem found me, in the form of a letter from one of my former students, Karen Harper. Karen was a beautiful dancer who included being a Toronto Argonauts cheerleader on her resume. She wrote me one of those letters that teachers and professors love to receive… "You have taught me so much about holistic living, simple pleasures, the importance of laughter and good friends and the power of music and poetry. Dr. Collis, you taught me to love life and I am so grateful. This concept of loving life seems so simple, but it wasn't for me for a long time. You helped open my eyes."
My Shoes By Karen Harper You've helped me mold my shoes, Not the kind you buy from a department store, specialty shop or vintage market. The kind of shoes I'm talking about are only found in the rarest of places, they are truly one of a kind and only fit one person. They are so comfortable and easy to walk in, I can walk forwards, backwards and sideways in these shoes. I can even dance in them! Even though they are comfy and simple, they are truly diverse. The pair matches, compliments each other Because they are the same but different. They are plain but colourful, Boring but funky, For inside and outside, To be dressed up or down. Serving so many functions, These shoes are purposeful and I owe their creation to you! Thank You |
