[hometext] => A true story about a former friend and respected middle school teacher who might have helped save our marriage but wouldn't. Today's program is brought to you by the words: PHONEY and HYPOCRITE
[bodytext] => REAL LIFE LESSON - Edward Iacona To be a student in your class Was certainly considered a coup All the kids sure wanted you And maybe a few mommies too. Beyond the Three R's you traveled, Your lessons laced with mirth. You taught of wolves and wildlife And conservation of the Earth Your teaching rings with wisdom Of heroes and brotherhood Of standing up for justice for As future adults they should Your classroom philosophy Was so easy to explain. An ongoing lesson that Your students should retain That in living a good life One should never abstain From always striving for kindness And for always being humane. When dark times came to your life We listened to all your lows We took you in like family We comforted your woes. Then dark times came to our life Faced with separation and divorce I called to you my 'brother' My thinking was, of course. I asked that you would mediate A union that should not be dissolved Your answer to my tearful plea; 'Sorry, can't get involved.' One thinks of all the hearts and minds That you will touch and reach Maybe you should learn from yourself And practice what you teach.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
