Teachers have such an impact on our lives. Use these retirement poems for a teacher when your teacher is retiring. Let them know the difference that they have made in your life. Poems that say thank you, best wishes, and all the best.
Teachers have a special gift! As Jeannette Walls once said, "Teaching is a calling too. And I’ve always thought that teachers in their way are holy—angels leading their flocks out of the darkness."
As you retire, your legacy remains strong,
Your contribution to education will live on.
With gratitude, we honor your dedicated years,
Your impact on the community brings joyful tears.
May your retirement be filled with peace and delight,
Your hard work and dedication have shone so bright.
In appreciation, we send our heartfelt praise,
Happy retirement, may you enjoy your retirement days.
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!
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!
No more lectures,
No more books.
It's time to take
A second look!
Your days of teaching
Are now through;
Retirement is a
Brand new view.
Your wisdom, guidance
And your care:
We thank you
As you retire in flair!

Retirement Teacher Poems from Coworkers
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.
