Free Teacher Retirement Poem
Here’s a free teacher retirement poem about a bunch of nuts. 
This poem is dedicated to my favorite teacher, Mr. Bradley Stanton of Canandaigua, New York. I sat under Mr. Stanton in junior high history class, and he was my chess club advisor there and, later, in high school. While I never was a stellar student…too immature to work hard in a subject I didn’t care about… I admired Mr. Stanton’s deportment as a teacher who knew what he taught and who had control of his classroom. 
He demonstrated openly his care about me just one time that I remember, deciding an altercation in my favor because I was showing loyalty to his class rules, but I have always been a sucker to befriend people that show they care. He offered me the fertile ground of safety, security, and inspiration I needed to flex my wings and soar to great heights as our chess club dominated county competition year after year. 
I marvel at the impact he had on my life, and though I have not seen him for many years, I am a testament to his life as I continue to teach and strive to bear fruit as he did. Free Teacher Retirement Poem to Thank You Poems to Teachers |
