“You Changed My World”

Teachers come and teachers go,
with new students every year.
But few teachers are so well loved,
remembered because they are so dear.
Teachers teach us lessons,
we could never learn alone.
They guide us, and they lead us,
out of our comfort zone.
You have gone over and beyond,
and taught me quite a lot.
And you even had faith in me,
when you knew that I did not.
You changed my world,
and you’ve changed my view.
And for that I’d like,
to say, “thank you”.

“You’re An Inspiration”

You have been an inspiration,
to all of those you taught.
As the knowledge added up,
the more of it we sought.
The more I learn through all the years.
The more it takes away my fears.
I gained confidence,
and began to soar.
And built strength,
down into my core.
For all of this I have you to praise.
For teaching me your amazing ways.
Thanks for all the gifts,
and my future life ahead.
And all the wonderful things,
that you put into my head.
