I wrote this for our class adviser during the teacher's month, and it was pretty much a last minute rush, so go easy on me
Here it is:
Why God Made You
When God created teachers,
He gave me times to smile,
And also when he sent you
To stay here for a while.
He gave you curls I’d look at
And dimples I would see
When all is fun and humor
While you would lecture me.
He gave you thoughts to share us
As life begins to slide
You taught us there’s no reason
To run away and hide.
You shared us jokes to laugh at,
With no one but ourselves
And made us thrive to understand
The heed of someone else.
You gave us your test papers,
That almost blew our minds
But knowing that you taught us well
Was all I need to find.
You gave us endless quizzes
And nonstop homework, too.
Oh, ma’am, whatever can I do
If I’m not here with you?
You’d lift me up when I break down,
And catch me when I fall
Taught me well how to respond
To God’s unending call.
You taught me not to falter
When all the world’s threadbare
To stand up and to notice
The chances everywhere.
Now this is why God made you
So I would clearly see
The river of undying hope
And possibilities.
And ma’am, I thank you very much
For most have come and gone
We’d like to thank you here today
For all that you have done.
There it is. Please feel free to give me your opinions, even if you think it sucks.
