Poem (November 2016)

By: Margery Erickson

Hanover, Pennsylvania

Where have all the T’ai Chi Chih teachers gone?

Long time passing

Caring for parents, children, grandchildren

Teaching classes when they can

Attending local workshops

Spending time with friends in need

When will they ever return?

Where have all the T’ai Chi Chih teachers gone?

Long time passing

Saving coins in a jar

For next years teacher conference

Hope to see your friendly faces

Smiling in the morning circle

When will they ever return?
