A Thank You to Our Teacher Karen Roewade
By: Loretta Schaeffer & Linda Joy
T’ai Chi Chih for types like me
And Linda Joy who does agree
Is now the very finest way
For us to start afresh each day
Our sleeping souls we first enhance
By deepening breath, mid-distance glance
Then, next to calm corporeal commotion
Our bodies sway with Rocking Motion
Both light and clear Bird Flaps Its Wings
And on we go to other things
As every time Around the Platter
We Gather in much Energy matter
With quiet mind our Chi does rally
Daughters on Mountain Tops and Valley
The Taffy movements ebb and flow
In silence and to music slow
No daily cares intrude to sully
Healing Sounds or Working the Pulley
Eyes closed, ears listen to the loud
Celestial sighs of Passing Cloud
This hour so good and clear and true
Is many lessons learned from you!
Oh dearest Karen, most gratefully
We tender thoughtful thanks to thee
