Retirement Poems   |   Retirement Poems For A Teacher


  1. Happy Retirement To A Great Teacher
    Poet: C. A. Lynch


    Teachers influence many children
    And you have, that is a given.
    Caring, over the years you have shown
    For kindness, you are known.

    The knowledge that you shared
    Shows us how much you cared
    Teaching was not just a job for you
    It was a love, we can see by what you do.

    The school won't be the same
    With you, we surpassed and overcame
    Challenges we all did face
    But, you made the school a better place.

    So when you have retired we will recall
    Your smile as we walk down the hall.
    We will miss you so
    We really hate to see you go.

    But as you retire we wish you well
    As a teacher, we think you are swell
    We say so long, but not farewell
    We hope retirement treats you well.

  8. No Longer Teach?
    Poet: C. A. Lynch


    Retirement doesn't mean you will no longer teach
    But you may find the setting may be a different place
    You may end up teaching on a beach
    Imagine teaching in a different space.

    There are still those around you that need
    Knowledge that you can impart
    Helping others, you will succeed
    We know you have a big heart.

    So retire from the classroom
    But never from teaching
    Continue to see people bloom
    Imagine the people you will be reaching!



  9. Difficult Decision
    Poet: Julie Hebert


    We knew how difficult the decision,
    When you decided to retire
    To finally hang up your ruler
    And put down your teacher's attire.

    No more school, no more tests to mark,
    No more recess duty.
    Now it's time to live life outside -
    To fly free like a birdy!

    You can get out and explore;
    Start to do all that you wish.
    Go hiking in the mountains
    Or take a swim, or go fish.

    Now that you're retired there are
    So many places to go;
    We'll miss you but wish you
    Fun and exciting times, you know!

  11. Days Of Service
    Poet: Julie Hebert


    Your days of service
    In the schoolyard all behind,
    A time of rest in
    Your retirement to unwind.

    The retirement you worked
    Hard to achieve each day,
    Now ready to part from
    What’s long been your way.

    For so many years,
    You've strived to do your best
    To nurture young minds for
    Whatever would come next.

    No more school,
    No more tests to mark,
    A needed break for
    Your hard-working spark.

    Now is the time for you
    To enjoy your days,
    We give thanks for the memories
    God bless you we pray!

    The final bell rings
    The students line up,
    Hats in hands and sing.

    You've shared your wisdom
    And knowledge without fail,
    Your passion for teaching
    Was contagious with every tale.

    We thank you for all of
    Your patience and support,

    Helped us to not falter or thwart.

    Beloved classroom key,
    Our hearts are heavy
    Yet full because we can see.
