A Tuesday Poem -- Reminiscing

They Read, You Read  

Who all my readers are 
I'll never know
Where my former student are 
I'll not know
But some I do know, 
tidbits, others a lot more

Basketball players, 
now professional.  
Big name team, 
they've  become 
big time players 

BS degree graduates, 
they call me down 
in supermarkets 
AA degree grads we 
might meet at an 
auto dealer repair 

Attorneys, 
from inspiration and ideas 
started in my classes, 
graduated from prestigious 
law schools 

Beauty pagent winners, 
one Miss USA

Friends and relatives - if and when each other we see
FaceBook friends and readers -- almost every time we meet

I'm proud of them, every one
They are pretty loyal folk, 
those who never leave a mark 
when they're here 

Then when by chance 
or by design, we visit 
it's a happy meeting 
for old time sake and 
catching up 

And if they don't read 
that's alright 
I remember anyway
