In the midst of planning a wedding, one of things I opted out of was a wedding portrait. But guess what!? I received the most perfect bridal portrait I could have ever wanted. My MWE community blessed me with this gift. An amazing teacher Ashley Johnson created my portrait out of found objects and wrote a poem that goes with it. So today I share with you:
The Bridal Portrait
Something old, something new
Here's a little reminder of what we think of you . . .
A megaphone mouth for your loud infectious laugh
the Meadow Wood Cheerleader
You always rally the staff.
Your ideas are marked with questions so great,
Light bulb earrings to
represent this thought provoking trait.
Running shoes laced up tight
show your sporty way and your will to fight.
A pencil sharp nose, a writer just fine
Passing that love to kids down the line.
A cross on a necklace for faith so strong
we know without a doubt
teaching is where you belong.
Lastly a special ring that says, "I do"
Shine bright firefly, and happy wedding to you!
Something old, something new

ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a chance to sign your beautiful bridal portrait :) But, if I did, it would say:
You are such an inspiration to everyone you come in contact with. All of your students absolutely adore you and are happier having had you as a teacher. And, you have one of the greatest laughs EVER!!!
We miss you!!
