A Thanksgiving Poem for Teachers

Thanksgiving is about giving thanks. Unfortunately, teachers are usually not the top recipients of one's gratitude. This is quite regrettable as teachers play a key role in shaping their students' future. Below is a simple Thanksgiving poem, dedicated to all teachers. I wrote this poem for a grade school assignment many years ago. Although I am no longer a student, I still appreciate the important job each teacher is doing. You are free to use this poem. Cheers.

A Thanksgiving Poem for Teachers

I am thankful for
The aroma of fresh paper,
The pen's superb utility,
And the schoolyard's pleasing scenery.

I am thankful for
The knowledge I have gained,
The skills I have mastered,
And the positive attitude I have acquired.

I am thankful for
My teachers' excellent teaching,
Endless patience,
And unrivaled dedication.

To all teachers (past, present, and future): You will be remembered this Thanksgiving Day and beyond.
