Julia Shaw Poet Rhyme

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.

Julia Shaw February 15, 2020 at 5:18 PM 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.
