Medium Poems

1. “A Lasting Legacy”

As I close this chapter of my life,
I reflect on all the joys and strife.
For years I’ve guided young minds,
Encouraging them to seek and find.

Though nerves may have rattled me,
I’ve always given my best, you see.
And now as I bid you farewell,
I hope my teachings within you dwell.

For as you venture out into the world,
Remember all you’ve learned and unfurled.
I’ll take pride in knowing I played a part,
In shaping your future from the start.

2. “The Time Has Come”

The time has come, I must depart,
From the world of education and art.
But let it be known, I leave with a glad heart,
For I’ve done my part and played my part.

Through the years, I’ve seen students grow,
And many have made my spirits just glow.
I’ve laughed with them, shared in their tears,
Shared in their struggles and conquered their fears.

So though I leave this place of learning,
I hope my lessons stick like glue, never turning.
And to all who I’ve had the pleasure to teach,
I say farewell, and may your future be within reach.

Long Poems

A Lifetime of Lessons

A lifetime of lessons taught with grace,
Her patience a shining example in this place,
Her words of wisdom spoken with care,
A teacher, a mentor, always there.

From early mornings to late nights,
She gave her all, a true delight,
Each student seen as an individual,
Their potential, her sole goal.

In classrooms filled with laughter and joy,
She shared her knowledge, never coy,
An educator, a friend, a guide,
With her by your side, you could never hide.

Her retirement now beckons her near,
But her legacy will remain crystal clear,
For she has touched countless lives,
And helped them realize their infinite strifes.

A lifetime of service, a heart full of love,
This teacher, this hero, a gift from above,
May she now rest, enjoy her well-deserved peace,
For she will forever be remembered, never to cease.

A Tribute to the Retiring Teacher

As the last bell rings,
And the classroom empties out,
The retiring teacher sighs,
And looks around with doubt.

The chairs and tables,
The books and boards,
All hold memories,
Of moments to be adored.

From days of laughter,
To times of tears,
This classroom saw it all,
Through the passing years.

The chalk dust on the floor,
The posters on the wall,
All speak of a journey,
Of inspiring students, one and all.

The first day jitters,
And the final exams,
Were always met with patience,
As the retiring teacher’s plan.

The early mornings,
And late nights,
Were spent preparing lessons,
With a passion that ignites.

The restless students,
And the curious minds,
Were welcomed with open arms,
By the retiring teacher, kind.

The lessons taught,
Were not just about facts,
They were life lessons,
In which the students could relax.

The passion for learning,
And the joy of discovery,
Were instilled in the students,
By the retiring teacher’s delivery.

For years, the classroom,
Was a home away from home,
A place of growth and learning,
Where the retiring teacher roamed.

But now the time has come,
To close this chapter with pride,
To leave behind a legacy,
And to embrace a new ride.

So let us all applaud,
The retiring teacher’s dedication,
For the countless lives she’s touched,
With her love, her time, and her education.

And may her retirement,
Be filled with joy and leisure,
For she has surely earned,
A life of happiness, in which to treasure.
