In halls of learning, wisdom's crown,
Stood a dad with love profound.
His days of guiding minds are done,
But memories bright, they'll still be spun.
With patience vast and knowledge deep,
He stirred young hearts from sleep.
In every lesson, a gentle hand,
Guiding futures, shaping lands.
Though he bids the classroom adieu,
His legacy, forever true.
For in the hearts of those he taught,
His wisdom's flame will ne'er be caught.
Retirement beckons, a tranquil shore,
Where dreams anew he'll now explore.
But in the tapestry of days gone by,
His influence, a soaring sky.
So here's to you, dear dad of mine,
Your journey's end, a grand design.
Your teachings echo, forever near,
In every mind you've helped steer.
As you retire with grace and cheer,
Know your impact is crystal clear.
In the story of education's art,
You'll forever hold a cherished part.
Almost every day- all these years
It was so rare that I missed your morning figure
I’m so grateful to have you in here
In my school, in my heart, in my life sphere
Not from a book but from the heart
A great teacher always starts
And here I am, cheering hard
Without a doubt, you made that mark
The Moon; doing her duties for millions of years
At dusk, her caring eyes seek for all daylight winners
Last night her sacred dew, touched the soft cheeks of flowers
Gave them courage to bloom and smile, to whisper the spells “A world of better”
One flower changed a broken man
Another cared for some little lads
Her tears dropped onto the next day champs
Here’s the story I saw in your years of clash!
For hundreds of Moons
Save all the Summers,
You engaged young minds
One youth at a time
Teaching new students.
But that’s not all,
You mentored young
Teachers, with pride.
For many years.
Excellence,
Scholarship,
Legacy.
And now,
Retired.
Thanks!
Welcome to the World of Retirement!
There are no more Monday blues.
You wake up late wondering... what to do?
No student data,
No coworkers to avoid,
No care about ADA
or if you should even shave today!
You could read a book for pleasure now and
not because you have to teach.
Make room for yourself and get some needed sleep.
Don't forget to create your bucket list!
It's time for you to travel and have fun
knowing that you'll never need to answer to DOE or anyone!
Happy Retirement!
You survived! Live long, strong, and hold on to what's left of your minds!
Temples throbbing
Heart pounding
at capacity
Introduced very first day
as 'Teacher of Perspicacity'
Did not know what it meant...
Next 'Word of the Day' ~ Retirement
A teacher
Just retired
Student now
Learning the books of life
Women of Wood
My high school teachers were like chairs,
women of wood, no human cares.
Lasting through decades of wear
their necks were long with hardened stares
from chalk like faces with silver hair.
Backs and spines precision straight
sturdy legs that bore the weight
of heavy ideas, out of date.
We prayed retirement was their fate.
They never ever would sit down
a bulwark fastened to the ground,
with glassy eyes that scanned around.
Like oak they stood so firm and strong,
with hardened hearts to chastise wrong.
Soon to be hewn by saws of time.
My high school teachers were like chairs.
Backs and spines precision straight.
They never ever would sit down.
Like oak they stood so firm and strong.
Soon to be hewn by saws of time.

When A Teacher Retires....
Beloved students they suffer a loss and feel deep regret..
For the loss of accumulated knowledge they can no longer get...
It pains me to pen these heartfelt lines when a fellow comrade...
Reaches the end of a long served career of teaching children...
Poignant memories of worthwhile moments are etched timelessly...
Making many a student and colleague shed a passing tear...
For in celebrating a distinguished career that come to end...
It too signifies the breaking of a new dawn for the celebrated one...
With much farewell wishes for golden years to come...
Suffice to include here some simple prose from students so dear...
Bidding goodbye is always tough, Words never prove enough...
Saying goodbye is never simple, To a teacher who's so special...
To a learned friend, dedicated teacher and fellow colleague...
A new world opens like the proverbial oyster to you...
All the best for your future undertakings and may you well prosper..
Like in the Star Trek series, henceforth go where you have not gone before...
The Show Must Go On....
The program has been meticulously drawn up...
Planned to the smallest detail to ensure no slip up..
The performers are primed, lined up and all ready...,
The guest of honor is well seated, calm and steady....
We're gathered today to pay tribute to a dedicated teacher...
Who tendered 36years of his working life to education....
In his humble and unassuming demeanour synomous with dedication...
Therein lies a character of honor, love, understanding and compassion ...
Unobstrusively he goes about his daily duties in teaching...
Spreading knpwledge , facts and wisdom unceasingly...
Today is a most historic day full of significance...
For we are here to salute the giant of a man in Mr Leong...
Teacher extraordinaire who teaches without any fanfare...
It is sad to realise this dedicated man of knowledge....
Has to draw time on his pilgrimage to enlighten students....
As one we all wish him well and may he well continue to prosper...
In health, wealth and happiness, and all things good life can offer...
Happy retirement, O great teacher, All the best as you gracefully retire...!
Green bark a prism creates,
Feel the pull of earth, you must.
Rotates, a slime of endless hates,
Can hold me not, this world’s crust.
Friendship’s ties, isolation Deflates,
Succumbs, my spaceship, to bitter rust.
Mist, my soul forever permeates,
Lift-off, booms the rocket’s thrust.
My spirit when light returns, elates,
Swamps swell, swallowed hope’s swirling dust.
Trapped, I am, until student from fate
Arrives to learn; Cloud City or bust.
