She\u2019s on my mind sometimes when I glance at a map<\/p>\n
A teacher who taught me about history and geography<\/p>\n
I imagined flying over ancient empires across the globe<\/p>\n
Being a spy listening to the lives of emperors and queens<\/p>\n
Or being on the ground as rampaging armies attacked<\/p>\n
