As graduation approaches, my heart sinks deep,
For I must bid adieu to the one who made me weep,
Not in sorrow or pain, but in joy and elation,
My favorite teacher, the heart of my education.

With every passing day, the clock ticks away,
And I wonder how to make the most of every day,
But the thought of leaving fills me with dread,
As I think of all the memories that I'll soon shed.

I wish I could detach, from this teacher so dear,
And not feel the pain, as the end draws near,
But the love and care, that she has shown to me,
Makes it impossible, to set my heart free.

She's been a constant support, through all my fears,
And helped me wipe away, all my tears,
Unlike other teachers, who never cared enough,
She always stood by me, when things got rough.

If not for her, I'd always be filled with fright,
And my heart would race, at the mere sight,
Of a teacher or a classroom, but she changed it all,
And made me realize, that learning could be a ball.

So as I prepare to bid her goodbye,
I can't help but heave a deep sigh,
For the lessons she's taught, and the memories we've shared,
Will forever be etched, in my heart, and my mind paired.

Thank you, my dear teacher, for all you've done,
For making my journey, a joyous one,
And though we'll be apart, I'll forever hold dear,
The moments we shared, throughout the year.
