Life’s Instructor

You taught me to dance, to move with ease,
Now I can't stop, even at the breeze.
Your lessons in rhythm, changed my pace,
Now every moment's a dance space.
From clumsy steps to graceful glide,
You changed my life, now I stride.
Every dance, a joy so true,
My life's a dance floor, thanks to you.

Green Thumb Guru

You showed me how to garden green,
Now my yard's a flourishing scene.
Changed my life with seeds you gave,
Now I plant and feel so brave.
Your wisdom turned my brown thumb bright,
Every bloom a pure delight.
Life's in bloom, thanks to you,
My garden's lush, fresh and new.

About Someone

Life’s Turning Point

In the crossroads of my days,
Your presence altered all my ways.
With a single touch, a gentle word,
My silent heart, you stirred.
You brought a light to my darkened path,
With your love, dispelling wrath.
Each moment shared, each lesson learned,
From you, my soul has turned.
Your impact, profound and deep,
In my heart, forever keep.
Changed by you, a better me,
In your reflection, I see.
