Beautiful teacher, wonderful instructor

I pray you return to work seamlessly

Composed like a seasoned conductor

Directing melodic phonics effortlessly

Embarking on this journey's final phase

Your story's next chapter has been approved

As you finally hand in your notice, praise

Then notice the weight being removed

From your tired shoulders and admire

The strength that remains within them

From carrying the responsibility to inspire

Young minds to learn and shine like a gem

Allow this very moment to be bittersweet

Recalling the magnitude of your impact

Over the many years, yes there's been defeat

From your victories they could never detract

The feeling of empowering those tiny souls

Comes second only to what your future holds

your potential is limitless, conquer your goals

Trust that God is in charge as tomorrow unfolds

As we raise our two beautiful baby boys

Growing and maturing ourselves in the process

Lets silence the doubt in our minds with poise

Thanking the lord in advance for your success

Your destiny is as bright as the potential

You've nurtured, from Manford to Newbury Park,

Cambodia to Kenya, you have been exceptional

In every single classroom, you've left your mark

And the places you'll go have even God excited

In you, all that you are, he is always delighted

It's at this precise moment you need to remember

The best is yet to come, the glory of his splendour
