Thank You Teacher

Thank You, Teacher Teachers all on knowledge dine And they unlock their students' minds. So they can reach the path divine We really are a special kind. We are mentors that push student's yearning We teach them how to read. Then they can always read for learning. We really are a special breed. We are like shepherds guiding sheep Showing them how to take the right path. Without our nurture, they would sadly creep Through all the world unending wrath. Yes, teachers, turn the pages Of many wonderful books. Our training reaches down through the ages We teach our pupils for knowledge to look. Thank you, dear teacher,  For all you have done. In a world of many You are a special one.

Yes, I was a teacher of first grade for almost 29 years. Now retired 22 years because of a disability. I still miss the little ones. I loved teaching and the kids.
