Saying Goodbye Again...

It was once again sad to say goodbye to my students. I was glad that their art class was only a semester long so their last day in art was also my last day in art. I learned a lot from the students and will miss them dearly. On my last day with the students, I told them that at one point in my life, I had wanted to be a writer. They thought that was pretty cool and it was even cooler when they found out that I had written a poem for them as a way to say thank you and goodbye.

To you my dear students,
whatever could I say?
Our time has come and gone.
Today is our last day.

To you my dear students,
forever I am grateful.
Everyday's a new lesson.
Everyday I am thankful.

To you my dear students,
I've learned a lot from you.
I hope I've done my job
and taught you something too.

To you my dear students,
I view you as a friend.
When my day is over,
my thoughts of you won't end.

To you my dear students,
take the time to think of me.
Learn everything that you can.
Be all that you can be.

To you my dear students,
I hope you'll never forget,
all the lessons you have learned.
There is one more for you yet.


To me my dear students,
you are all amazing.
The world it could be yours.
It's there for the taking.
