"Teacher make them all" - Meaningful poem for a teacher by Anonymous 

Engineers make bridges.

Artists make paintings.

Scientists make rockets.

But teachers make them all.

"I want to be like you" - By Joanna Fuchs

Thank you, teacher,

for being my life's role model.

When I consider all you've taught me

and reflect on the kind of person you are,

I want to be like you-

smart, interesting and engaging,

positive, confident, yet unpretentious.

I want to be like you-

well-informed and easy to understand,

thinking with your heart as well as your head,

gently nudging us to do our best,

with sensitivity and insight.

I want to be like you-

giving your time, energy and talent

to ensure the brightest possible future

for each of us.

Thank you, teacher

For giving me a goal to shoot for:

I want to be like you!

To a special teacher - By Anonymous

When I started in School,

This day seemed so far away.

Now it's here and I can't believe

That time has passed so quickly

But through your encouragement and guidance

I feel I'm ready for tomorrow's challenges.

Teachers play such an important part

In shaping and guiding...

Especially teachers like you,

Thank you for caring so much.

"Why god made teachers" - By Kevin William Huff

When God created teachers,

He gave us special friends

To help us understand His world

And truly comprehend

The beauty and the wonder

Of everything we see,

And become a better

With each discovery.

When God created teachers,

He gave us special guides

To show us ways in which to grow

So we can all decide

How to live and how to do

What's right instead of wrong

To lead us so that we can lead

And learn how to be strong.

Why God created teachers,

In His wisdom and His grace,

Was to help us learn to make our world

A better, wiser place.

You were our role models from the start.

I'll remember you always.

Thank you.
