Split curtains from Japan,
Hang in doorway.
Hang in doorway.
Custom dictates that
We bow as we pass through...
Show respect for
Show respect for
Place left behind…
And place entered.
And place entered.
In response
Noren sway in breeze...
Give visual evidence
Of our journey.
Teresita, you have been
Teresita, you have been
The warm breeze
To the noren of my life.
Each time we met
I was refreshed and renewed...
I was nurtured and ennobled...
I was affirmed and valued.
With you I found
I was nurtured and ennobled...
I was affirmed and valued.
With you I found
Inspiration and joy.
We shared our interests
In books, movies, and TV shows.
Through you I learned
Of the plight of those
You were committed to helping
All over the world.
Teresita, you personified
Hope and confidence
In life’s infinite capacity
To renew itself...
And not always to take
Itself just too, too seriously.
Thank you, my dear, dear amiga.

We are all humbled by your
