O’ Pat Pattison, you, my brilliant teacher,
I would shower in praises, had you not
taught me better! for cliches void of thought
are as worthwhile as a couch surfin’ moocher!
O’ masterful and deepest sort of creature,
shocked then, in the thrall of churning wounds, distraught
I found your grace—and for my breaking clot
you gave me poetry, this soothing suture.
Trochees and iambs, blank verse, Shakespear’s form—
you illuminated a path obscure
to my sight. The subtle rhythms and rhymes
you used as guideposts through a ruthless storm
are now the tools that fix me fast,—secure.
I’d take your class again a million times.
How blessed are we to have nature as our teacher
although her biggest obstacle
which leads to her biggest concern
is how even the greatest teacher cannot teach
those who are unwilling to learn.
We are all students and we are all teachers…
Today I’m thankful for being each…
And may I be blessed to always know…
when it’s time to learn
and when it’s time to teach
Today I’m thankful that we are all teachers and students in life
The trick being…as we round every turn turn…
Is knowing when to teach
and knowing when to learn.
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!
Dear mentors; your gracious words instruct*
Thanks; with good works, lives you construct.
*Isaiah 28:26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
Happy Teachers' Day!

Thank you for taking the time
to show me how to write.
Thank you for the sleepless nights you
spent marking my work,
Thank you for the time you took off holidays
to give me extra attention when I needed it,
I am who I am because of you
Your hands have molded governors and presidents
rock stars and writers.
Thank you for showing me how to hold a pen
So that I can write this.
Back in 2003, a fellow teacher came up to me
A skinny fellow, all angles and elbows and knees
He stared at my stomach
He stared me in the eye
He poked me in the stomach
And cried:
"My friend, you are FAT!"...
Then walked away with a
Tip of his hat
And I never saw him again after that
Time is a teacher of patience, whose reward is wisdom.
by Daniel Turner
Yes there are
The teacher who cares
The fireman who dares
The police who simply just do
The nurse who won't tire for you
Yes there are
The vet who burns the night light
The doctor who makes it right
The carer who's word is more than alright
The volunteer who won't quit
The social worker who'll make sure
The friend who'll stand by you
Yes there are
The soldiers who'll protect
The sailors who'll defend
The airmen who will not quit
when they're in the thick of it
Yes there are
Good people in our lives
Good people with no disguise
Good people who we should all praise
To all the good people out there
I salute you because you really care.
