For Our 1st Grade Teacher

A gardener you are, for we are the plants With knowledge, you had watered us all You helped us to grow, taught to withstand Through your attention, you made us feel tall Your job is now done, so sad, yet so true So flourishing, we now understand We wish to convey the message to you That we are us, because of your hands Thank you for all of the time that you shared You treated and nurtured us, so very well We’ll always remember the way that you cared From teaching us math and then how to spell Most of all, Mrs. Moffat, we’d like you to know No other first graders can stand just as proud For we had the best of the best and that’s so And this we’ll all scream for as long as allowed You’re the best first grade teacher anyone can know May your life fill with happiness as each day’s winds blow
