A Poem For Josh, From the ‘Pretty In Purple’ Girl You Sang To
Sending this Straight to You dear Josh,
Some further ‘inspection’ for your need.
You sang Happy Birthday to me in D.C.
Jenna – an elementary teacher to be.
Entering my grad year,
I’m not The Wandering Kind.
Teaching the little ones,
Their talents Hidden Away I hope to find.
To wonder like Galileo,
Teaching them to read and write,
My teaching specialty for grad year,
Is to help them find their light.
Hearing your thoughts on If I Walk Away,
I’ll think of the song in a different way.
Not only of love, but of a students’ heart,
Their own true worth I hope to impart.
I grew up dancing and singing my way through school.
Dancin’ in show choir and travelin’ around.
Virginia, DC, Florida, New York….
Heard those Bells of New York City, a beautiful sound!
You Raise Me Up daily in your video posts,
I crack up over your crazy goofiness.
My Confession to you – we are much the same
Light-hearted and passionate, seeking love and happiness.
By the way ….. on how ‘you owed me’- do you remember the q?,
in Richmond you sang to my friend Jess* - now ‘you owed me’ big!
Game on! Climb through that Higher Window, I can do it too!
It truly was my birthday, just needed that text to jump out at your crew!
Love Only Knows I spent two weeks phrasing it,
Determined to succeed, I Never Let Go of my goal.
When you called my name I couldn’t believe it.
The dream of a lifetime I would now come to know.
Time stood still. What really happened? Everyone watching.
Thank God for Facebook and Twitter, pieces of the night streaming in.
Don’t Give Up I tell myself….keep on searching
The clarity of the night no longer veil thin.
Thank you dear Josh, from the bottom of my heart,
I’m your number one Grobanite from your career start.
Now you know the girl you sang to and hugged,
Don’t ever forget that You Are Loved!
*(Hint: She asked if you about what’s the worst trouble you’ve gotten in and it involves Italy)
So there you have it...a little bit of me for you. Josh, if you are reading this I would love to know that you did!! Thank you can't begin to express how you made me feel that night...but it's the best this teacher can do right now.
