Stating Teacher Appreciation through Thank You Poems

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Aside from our parents, teachers are the next in line influence in our lives. Whether we are aware of this or not, teachers are not just teachers to us. They are also our secondary parents, mentor, disciplinarian, shock absorber, head-lifter, and a friend.

That’s why they deserve to be recognized in their Teacher Appreciation Day. It’s like their second birthday, you know. We celebrate their being teachers and remind them that we are not just grateful they have chosen this career but they also worked beyond their expected task as teachers.

And with this, they deserve to be thanked for. Here are teacher appreciation poems expressing thankfulness with a genuine spirit.

Lessons Learned

Thank you for what you taught me
and for helping me to grow.
You have expanded so much my learning
and taught me what I know.
You are someone I will never forget
Nor the lessons I have learned
For they will never be wiped clean
They’re in my memory burned.

Because of You

A teacher is a person
Who helps you every day.
Who scolds you when you’re bad
And helps you find your way.
Thanks for what you did for me,
for teaching me something new.
For I would not be here today
If it hadn’t been for you.

Imparter of Knowledge

Teacher and advisor
Counselor and friend
Imparter of knowledge
Which never has an end.
All these things you were to me
And I’m thankful to this day.
I have now succeeded
And you helped show me the way
