Do you know of a teacher who is retiring? Then you’ll love this collection of teacher retirement poems to enjoy and share with a special teacher you know.
Teachers are very special people. Not only do they educate and help others learn and succeed, but they also have the patience and perseverance necessary to make it all possible.
Retirement is always both a happy and sad time for everyone. It is a happy time for the person retiring because it means they will be able to use their time to do all of the things they have been planning to do while they were working. However, to those they have worked with and influenced, it can also sometimes be sad to think you will no longer work together and see each other all the time.
Our poems are a tribute to all of the teachers out there that have worked so hard to make the world a better and happier place for all.
When a Teacher Retires
When a teacher retires
we forget that a teacher’s job is never done
The classroom days might be over
but you’ve only just begun.
You may think you’ve only
taught your students
but the things we’ve been taught
we will teach to others
and they will teach to someone else too
you’ve shaped us to know the right thing to do
Next fall when school begins again
you may not be here
but the things you’ve taught
will be helping others everywhere.
Once a Teacher
Once a teacher, always a friend
Once a teacher, always an inspiration
Once a teacher, always a role model
Once a teacher, always a hero
Once a teacher, always the best
A Teacher’s Blessing
As a teacher, you have blessed us all
with your talents, patience, and mind
May those you have taught
grow to do great things
May you see their accomplishments with great pride
You have made the world a brighter and better place
May you enjoy every moment of your life
from this day forward knowing you have made the difference
to the most important person – a child.
