My Martial Arts Teacher or Sensei



You were my Master
And I your student
Your moves were so deadly
Like a Cobra,and Tiger combined

That as you trained me
Back when I was just a boy
I never forgot what a great Martial Artist
 You were,and still are to this day

That even though I didn't study long
I never forgot my times in your class
As what a Great Sensei,or Master
Of open,and closed hand or fist

As well as a Teacher in life you still are
That I do write this
With the most deep Admiration
And  Respect for you my Sensei.
