It takes a special person
To teach a child in class
To just keep his attention
In a world that moves so fast
To show a child she is unique
With talents deep inside
To help build her confidence
So she can beam with pride
To show a little patience
For a child who’s lost his way
To a child who feels abandoned
To show her better days
To inspire and to motivate
So a child can learn and grow
To go into this big wide world
That has its highs and lows
You’re the heart of every classroom
The soul of every school
The mind behind the message
That learning is cool.
Your patience and understanding
Can never be old,
Your courage and commitment
Is that of legends untold.
Each day you teach children
Is a day to rejoice,
Because of you, we children
Will have our own voice.
So thank you dear teachers
For passing knowledge
Through the years.
You thought you were merely teaching,
When you were eliminating fears.
You are a special person
You always give your best
And for every child you taught
Their life is truly blessed.
