Miriam,

her eyes shine like diamonds

her nose kind and perked up

smooth skin on her face

as she says ‘’Good Morning!’’

Elizabeth,

helpful, kind, caring

teacher of all things

loud and carefree

as she packs her bags.

Martinez-Perez,

her voice leaves a melancholic ring in your ear

as she closes the door.
