Thank You, Teacher

Folder: 
Odes/Tributes

Teacher, you are a blessing

to all your students here.

You've given of yourself so much

all throughout the year.



It must be a dedication

a sort of driving force.

To be able to teach a child so much

and keep them right on course.



I hear it in my child's voice

and I see it in her face.

When she speaks of you with love

I know you'll be hard to replace.



So Thank You, Teacher, for all you've done

in helping my child to grow.

I know she's all the better for

the knowledge you did bestow.
