The following was originally written and published for the Yahoo! Contributor Network. I have chosen to display my poem here because I would like to give a special thanks to Melina, the founder of P.O.V., as she truly loves to edit, write and guide others into the writing profession.
A Tribute to Mentors
Giving back to those who help others
Gracious people still exist
At times, act selfless and persist
Outpouring courage; magnetic drive
Serving as a mentor, helps others keep their dreams alive
They begin their journey with a goal
Inspiration and motivation forever implanted in their souls
Participating as a guide for those in need
To be successful one must take heed
Mentors give their time for free
They love to guide others, endlessly
They possess immeasurable skill
Mentors find happiness and help at will
Working with a mentor should be treasured
Their passion and expertise cannot be measured
Many successful people have guides
Someone to follow, give you constructive ideas, and remain by your side

Mentors help others become successful. I am extremely lucky and thankful to have a mentor as she graciously shares her professional experiences with me. Thank you, Melina. Your guidance is extremely valuable.
