Just Once More...

Just one more,

I tell myself.

One more year, and then I'll be done.

Just one more term, and I can relax.

Just once more, I'll walk through those doors.

The cold air blowing me into the awareness, another one is here.

Just once more I'll walk the halls, taking the road too often traveled.

Maybe, one more time I can push myself

Harder, farther.

Pushing those who follow to reach and climb.

Maybe one more time, I'll stand before them, humble...

But ready.

Perhaps more is the answer,

To those questions.

Perhaps more I can give,

More time, more patience.

Because just one more, will stand before me...

Questioning, listening.

Just one more, will need me.

Just me.

Once more.

For all my teacher friends... here we go... just once more.
