Poems for the Teacher

It's the time of year when we prepare to say good bye to teachers that have enriched our lives and given us gifts that never fade. I am working on composing some poems to give my children's teachers along with a few small gifts. Nothing really represents what they've given us; I still remember fondly the teachers that loved and taught my oldest son when he was a wee boy in daycare. I am so deeply grateful for the love we've been showered with in such loving, amazing teachers. They work long hours for too little pay, just for the joy of being with the children. Here are a few triolets I've written for the teachers:



Teacher's Garden

In our garden there's a flower
always blooming just for you.
Whether sunshine or in shower,
in our garden there's a flower.
a teacher's love has super power,
we give thanks for all you do -
in our garden there's a flower
always blooming just for you.

-Andromeda Jazmon




Thank You Teacher

Teacher dear - for all the hugs you gave,
for all the lessons taught, we thank you.
By your cheers you made us brave,
teacher dear, by all the hugs you gave.
Those treasured memories are forever saved.
What gifts we offer seem too few;
teacher dear - for all the hugs you gave,
for all the lessons taught, we thank you.

-Andromeda Jazmon

I'm not sure I'm really satisfied with either one yet... might still do some revising. What do you think?
