Found in the depths of the earth
You are one of those jewels
Of whom there is a dearth
Like a prized possession
Always kept safe and secure
Your teachings and lessons
Will be in our hearts for sure
As my favorite teacher
Leaves and goes away
I love her very much
Is what I want to say
As she explores
A whole new future
I want say how much
Teachers come and go
But their memories are forever
The lessons that they teach
Are forgotten never
Teachers keep changing
Every now and then
But great ones are remembered
Time and again
Your absence will leave
A vacuum in our souls
For in our life you played
Such an important role
We will feel blanked out
And empty from inside
These will be the results
Of not having you by our side
At your farewell party
We will be mourning
The loss of a teacher
So kind and caring
Your send-off will be
More like a tear fest
We will grieve the loss
Of a teacher who is the best
7) When a teacher like you leaves
A bank of knowledge leaves with him
When a teacher like you goes
A classroom starts looking dim
When a teacher like you retires
Students shed many a tear
It is difficult to
Say goodbye
To my teacher
Who helped me to fly
To you as I bid
A final adieu
All I can do is
9) The corridors of our school
Will seem empty
There will be something amiss
In each lobby
The classrooms will seem
Blank and bare
As we lose our teacher
For whom we deeply care
Bidding farewell
Is always tough
Words never prove
To be enough
Saying goodbye
Is never simple
To a teacher like you
Who is so special
12) You gave us
A world of knowledge
You prepared us
To attend college
You trained us
In every etiquette
You taught us
Every skill set
We hate to see you
Leave us and go
Your resignation
Has been a big blow
You are our guru
As we say our goodbyes
14) Rip your resignation letter
Just tear it apart
Is what we all wish
From the bottom of my hearts
Throw it in the bin
Burn it in a fire
Is the only thing
That your students desire
There is no way in which
I can summarize
How your tutelage
Has been a grand prize
There is no way for me
To thank you enough
Life without your guidance
We never knew
Teachers could be so cool
Until the day
You joined our school
I wish you were
Always with me
To guide me until
An eternity
Bur sadly you are
Leaving us to go
And join another school
Much to our sorrow
Our loss has become
We wish you farewell
With a lot of pain
18) Saying goodbye to you
Is painful and sad
For you are the best
Teachers come
And teachers go
But there is one thing
I want you to know
In my heart you have
A special place
I will always remember
Your serene face
I wish you farewell
As you go elsewhere
I will miss all your
Tender loving care
Today is a day
Which good and bad
My feelings right now
Are both happy and sad
I am happy for you because
I will fondly remember
Our long rendezvous
For it is impossible
To forget a teacher like you
Sad farewells are given to those people
Who are extremely prized and special
Dear teacher, you are one such person
You are the reason school is so much fun
We will miss all our classes with you
We hope you that you will miss us too
We apologize
For all our mischief
It must have given you
So much pain and grief
For all our silly pranks
We are so sorry
For reasons so petty
We promise to be good
We will never make a fuss
Please promise that someday
For it is impossible
To quantify your value
Your absence will make us
Badly miss you
In the puzzle of my life
You have been the mentor
And taken me higher
In the game of my life
You have been a referee
In the right direction
You have always guided me
In the horizon of my life
You have been the rainbow
I bid you a tearful goodbye
Hating to see you go
25) Our school will need
A big miracle
To find another teacher
Like you so special
It will take at least
One more year
For our class to get back
Its joy and cheer
On all your students
Please take some pity
Tear your resignation
And come back immediately
You have found
A greener pasture
But what about
Our future
You have discovered
A new opportunity
But we have been left
Hanging in agony
Being taught by you
Has been a privilege
Your classes have given me
The wealth of knowledge
Being guided by you
Has been a great opportunity
The only sounds
You will hear ME NOW >>
todayWill be cries
and sobsOf our emotions
gone astrayThe only sight
that youWill witness around
youWill be our
sad facesAnd our moods
so blueThere are a
few teachersWho can never
be forgottenThey are teachers
like youWho are one
in a millionThere are a
few teachersWho can never
be replacedFrom memories of
the heartThey can never
be erasedSuch teachers in
this worldFor me are
very fewBur today I
want to confessOne such teacher
is you
Your futureIs bound to
be bright
But without youWe may not
be alright
Your new endeavorsAre bound to
be successful
But your absenceWill make us
mournfulLoved by So
ManyDear Students and Friends - I have not been in this space for a couple of weeks because my loving father, George Ludwig, died on August 21, 2022. Instead of tending this space, I have been missing my dad very much and also taking care of his house
and business.Too, I have taken a position as a fourth grade teacher, and I could not be happier about this. It has been a sad time and a time of new beginnings, and I am grateful that my dad knew about my job. He was so happy for and proud of me, and I cannot wait to meet my students this week. It has been 22 years since I was a classroom teacher, and at this time of loss, I am happy to have a beautiful new beginning too. Thank you to everyone at Parkdale Elementary and everyone in the East Aurora Union Free School District for welcoming me so
warmly.Each person experiences ups and downs on life's rollercoaster, and I am grateful to have spent so much of my own life-ride with my father. Some of you may know the feeling of almost not believing that someone is gone, and at such a time, reading and writing poems can help us hold our feelings up to the light. Even when the world feels scary, words are here for us. Words and poems can help us grieve, can help us
say goodbye.I wrote this poem in the second person, choosing to write in the you voice instead of the I voice, even though this poem is actually about me and my own dad. It just felt right this way. Remember, when you write your own poems, you may choose the point of view. It need not always be your
own.A teacher is retiring, and you would like to wish him/ her the best in retirement. But you're probably looking for some inspiration on what to
say or write.Retirement wishes for
teachers can be:• Thank you for everything you've done for me. I wish you nothing but the very best in
your retirement. Congratulations!• No one can say goodbye to a teacher like you, because you'll forever be
in our hearts. Happy retirement!• Welcome to your new-found freedom, where you're freed from
us, students. Enjoy it.at no extra
cost to you One of the gift ideas that I'll be sharing is an Annual Membership for MasterClass. The masterclass platform is an online course platform where the teachers are the most famous and successful in the world. Giving an Annual Membership for Masterclass is a great

Enjoy the sunrises and sunsets,
And all that nature has to give,

It's so hard to believe,
It's time for your retirement,
Time for feeling free.
You worked so hard,
to make this dream come true,
And no one deserves it,

not filled with any strife,

Retirement Wishes and PoemsYES, SEND IT TO
That you'll always remember
One who makes learning an adventure
And who can still remember
What's like to be young
And growing up
The kind who can make you
want to be the very best you can be
Someone who you can talk to
and cares about you
That person, (teacher's name) that is you!
Dear teacher,
May the years of your retirement be rich, rewarding and kind,
And may there be no limit to the happiness you find!
Dear teacher,
What we will lose,
Your family will gain.
We will be the ones,
Left in pain.
But you will leave us,
A precious legacy,
By making us the best,
Students we can be.
You did everything you could,
To help your students shine.
Despite the challenges,
No one has ever seen you whine.
Thanks for being a teacher,
So passionate and caring,
We are all at a loss,
Now that you're retiring!
Welcome to the world,
Of waking up late,
Being disoriented,
And forgetting the date.
Get into the habit,
Of having lots of fun,
Not being answerable,
To a single person.
years of your life!It takes a special person,To teach a child in class,To keep his
attention,in a world that moves so fast.To show a child, he is unique,With many talents
deep inside,To help to build his confidence,ME NOW >>So he can beam with pride.To show a little patience,
For a child who lost his way,To a child who feels abandoned,Who has seen better days.To inspire and
to motivate,So a child can learn and grow,To go into this big wide
world,With many highs and lows.You are a special person,Who always give
their best,And for every child who was in your class,Their life is truly blessed.Teachers come and go
But every so
often one comes along
we may have uttered.
Some naughty rumors,
we may have spurred.
Putting aside our mischiefs and pranks,
today we want to say thanks!
The truth is that,
we respect you a lot.
Every day we've embraced,
all that you have taught.
May laughter light your days,
And good times never part.
May toddies warm your nights,
and keep you young at heart.
Eat, drink and be merry,
Play hard; have lots of fun.
Here's to your retirement, (name teacher),
Your life has just begun!
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 person
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 so that we can lead
And learn how to be strong.
Why God created teachers,
in His wisdom and His grace,
Was to help You started on this journey, so many years
ago, and now its
time to leave
behind dead friends you've come to
know.Its seems to
me that this was more a
job for you. The passion and love you have
for teaching are
shining right through.You taught that
there is more to life than
being at the
top. It's in how
you choose to get there, that the blessings
never stop.
You encouraged your students to do their best and
never mind their peers. To shoot the
straight and narrow and overcome their
fears.I've often thought
of how powerful your influence must
be. You turned each students world of
dreams into possibilities.Now I wish
you safe and well, wherever you may
turn, surrounded by your loved ones, living out the dreams you've earned.
So never waste time on wishing
you could do so much more. It's time to
watch those seeds you planted grow
and trust for what's in store.
Dear teacher,A few nasty things,
and taught me to have the courage,
to take in everything you stride.
You're such a wonderful teacher,
for all that is plain to see,
I just wanted to let you know
How much you have mean to me.
