A wonderful poem and a great remembrance of our elders. Loved the ultimate stanza. Beautifully crafted and well conveyed. Onto my Poem List.

Excellent poem Shaun and one which, as a personal tutor, I can certainly relate to. Yesterday I taught circle theorems and Macbeth...it's so rewarding to be able to pass on one's knowledge and hopefully simplify things for students. It's still a great buzz for me! It's definitely a thank goodness for teachers inspired ten for me!
