To Sir With Love

Those schoolgirl days

Of telling tales, and biting nails, are gone

But in

my mind,

I know they still will live on and on

But how do you thank

someone

Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?

It isn't easy, but

I'll try

If you wanted the sky,

I would write across the sky in

letters,

That would soar a thousand feet high:

"To Sir, With Love"

The

time has come

For closing books; and long last looks must end

And as I

leave,

I know that I am leaving my best friend

A friend who taught me

right from wrong,

And weak from strong -- that's a lot to learn

But --

what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon,

I would try to

make a start . . . but I

Would rather you let me give my heart

To Sir,

With Love
