If only you had taught me all those many years ago You would have made my world a little brighter ‘Twould not have made a difference that I was a little slow My school load would have been a whole lot lighter You would have taught the golden rule just as you do today Your explanations making all things clear You would have sat and listened to the things I had to say Accepted child like phrases then as dear How joyfully I’ve watched my grandchild seated in your class Not only her, but all the others too; Sometimes their little comments really made me want to laugh! But her first two years of grace I owe to you I guess I shouldn’t be a little sad about today It’s not the end but only something new Next year grade one another chapter in her Book of Life And you will carry on the way you do I want to thank you for the way you’ve given them the chance To speak and share their feelings and their pains Frustrations of the school term sometimes seem a heady dance But to see them venture on - a goal attained The time has come to grow again - new challenges await Please know we won’t forget you when we part You’ll be remembered even if it’s only for a moment Like a treasure you’ll be hidden in our hearts Thank you doesn’t seem enough - for all the time you spent preparing - Report cards that you wrote and stories told; To have such a great beginning to a life of education A jewel of treasured memories they can hold |
