| I wrote this poem for one of my seventh grade classes. We were all sad that one of our favorite teachers was leaving the school so I wrote this poem to express our sentiment. |
|
| As you travel down the road of joy and sadness |
| you always tend to look behind you. |
| As you look, you see how much fun we've had, |
| as you travel down that long, dark road. |
| It's always hard to say goodbye, |
| but when people care for you it is twice as sad. |
| As you look back down the road again, |
| you see how much we love you, because we are your friends. |
| Pray for us and we'll pray for you, |
| wherever you are we'll always be with you. |
| And when you fall, |
| we'll be there to help you get up again. |
| And when you can go no further, |
| we'll be there to help you up and carry you. |
| Do your best in all you do, |
| never forget us and we'll never forget you. |
| And as you travel down the road of life, |
| fear not, for may our love and good tidings be with you always. |
