This poem is dedicated to all of the teachers and educators.  Thank you for all that you do-without the passionate people dedicating their lives to educating the children our world would not be the wonderful place it is.  I hope you enjoy this poem, as it is written in all of your honors.

 

 

Nestled in a nook, near a bank by a creek,

Live curious minds that prod and seek,

A cure for their cravings, and so they yearn,

For an extraordinary teacher from which they can learn,

Incredibly, the seekers and the mentor met by chance,

And their thirsts were slaked by just one glance,

For the teacher had wanted to spread her knowledge and her great wisdom,

Throughout the minds of the seekers, to prove what they can’t fathom,

So the students were taught and their minds soon grew,

To hold their thoughts that soared and flew,

From seekers to prodigies,

From the dirt of the ground, they raised tall cities,

All because of the teacher,

No ordinary teacher, this teacher was,

For she didn’t only speak, she did and still does,

Her actions speak louder than her words,

Continuing on forever, never backwards,

No matter her occupation, her time, her outset,

Her students and friends will never forget,

The wisdom she gave them,

Which started from a stem,

In the back of their minds, they were always there,

The teacher merely awakened them, with delicate care,

So that in the future, the students could share,

 Their knowledge with others,

From the farms to the harbors,

The knowledge will spread at the speed of light,

Throughout the day, throughout the night,

Through stories and lessons,

Through words and actions,

The knowledge will be set in stone and cedar,

All because of an incredible teacher.

 

Now this teacher couldn’t teach forever, at least not in one classroom,

She simply has to jaunt across the globe,

For she wants to learn, enjoy, and probe,

The roads of the world, and the marvels that come with them,

For the glory of the world is not just a gem,

It can be happiness, love and excitement,

And to live a life well spent,

She will travel and relax and enjoy her life,

Without any cares, without any strife,

For she knows all her students were a success,

And they will always give their best, nothing less,

So peace of mind can envelope the teacher,

And maybe peace of mind is the best feature,

To have, for it comes with peace,

And so all stress will soon cease,

The teacher deserves this, for all of the lives she has changed,

And so many successes she has arranged,

She has gained this so many times as the years have past,

And now the teacher can relax, finally at last.
