Another chapter finished and winging its way to my publisher; feels good. Felt good too, earlier today  - yesterday! - when one of my pupils successfully identified a prime number. Major break through ... and it was great to see her smile when I congratulated her. Affecting how people think - especially when it involves an improvement in how they feel about themselves - gives me pleasure.

Your attitude your rain  

I changed your attitude to rain
Taught you to greet it head on
To caress each drop umbrella-less
Taste the sweetness upon your tongue

Oiled your skin, unclouded your brow
Cast rainbows of dreams for you
Turned your mind, to face the dawning sun
Opened doors for you to walk through

Miracles no more a challenge
Eyes bright embrace each new day
Those once impossible thoughts achieved
Rise up, on your feet, stroll away

You were young, blinkered, so held back
Now poised, in good air, you fly
I shed a tear, as your wings spread wide
To claim your prize, freedom. Goodbye.
