August 6, 2009 - For Sean

It is hard to imagine
How only a few months ago
We all sat wondering
Where we would be
Today
Worrying, hoping, praying
That we would have someplace to go

It is easy to imagine
How right now
You are cracking a sarcastic joke
About how YOU landed the best place of all.
Smiling over us.
Wowing the angels with your vocabulary.

I can also imagine
how you would not want us
To cry, mourn, or ruminate
But I will
Not because I don’t care
But because I do

Thank you for honoring him in such a perfect way---I can't believe he is gone but I know he made a HUGE difference in every child/adult that he came across and they are better people/students/learners for it. I know I am a better teacher for working with him (but my vocabulary is still not half as good as his!)
