Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In the realm of knowledge and care,
A journey embarked with love to share,
As teachers retire, a new chapter begins,
A life of fulfillment, where happiness wins.
For years you've guided young minds,
Nurturing curiosity, leaving no answers behind,
You've painted imaginations with colours and light,
Inspiring futures, igniting their flight.
From ABCs to complex equations,
You've instilled wisdom in every equation,
Your dedication and passion have shown,
A lasting impact, like seeds you have sown.
Now it's time to close the classroom door,
But remember, your legacy will endure,
The memories of laughter and joy will remain,
As you embrace new adventures, free of strain.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Retirement calls, oh teacher dear,
Your legacy shines bright and clear.
For decades you've stood tall and strong,
Shaping futures, righting wrongs.
Excitement fills the air, it's time to rest,
Enjoy the freedom, you've certainly earned the best.
Embrace this new chapter, as vibrant as it can be,
Cheers to retirement, for you have set so many free!
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Retirement from teaching calls for relaxation and ease,
A time to indulge in life's gentle breeze,
Travel the world, explore far and near,
Create lasting memories, bring dreams that are clear.
So embrace this new journey that lies ahead,
With open arms, let excitement be spread,
Retirement for teachers, a time to unwind,
To cherish past achievements, leave worries behind.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
As you bid farewell to the school bell's chime,
A new path awaits, a rhythm so sublime,
Take pride in what you've accomplished so far,
And know that you've made a difference, no matter how small.
So, dear teachers, as you embark on this new stage,
May success and happiness be your wage,
Rejoice in the memories that you've made,
For your impact on lives will never fade.
Congratulations on reaching retirement's door,
A life of new possibilities lies before,
May each day be filled with joy and pleasure,
As you embark on this well-deserved treasure.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In the realm of knowledge and guiding souls,
You've stood tall, shaping futures bright.
With every lesson, you've played your roles,
Through endless days and sleepless nights.
Now the time has come, dear teacher,
To bid farewell to the classroom walls.
Take a step back, let go of the preacher,
Embrace a new chapter, as it calls.
Retirement is a well-deserved reprieve,
A chance to prioritize self-care for you.
No more stress, no more haste to achieve,
It's time to relax and let worries be few.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Replenish your spirit, regain your might,
As a teacher, you've given your energy all these years.
Embrace the tranquility, the joy, the light,
And let go of any lingering fears.
Your legacy is etched in countless minds,
The impact you've made will forever remain.
But now it's time to unwind and find,
Peace in the freedom retirement can contain.
So take time for yourself, dear teacher,
Explore passions and dreams gone astray.
Embrace each moment as a joyful creature,
And let retirement be your guiding ray.
