(Please let me know what you think... This is for a teacher who is retiring)

I never found the words
to say how much you meant to me,
and now that you're leaving,
I know its more important,
and I still can't say how I feel.
Words are not enough
to express all you've done for me.
You're more than a teacher of english,
you're a teacher of life,
how to live.

The first time I saw you,
I knew I could be comfortable,
you were different somehow.
The first thing I learned from you,
was how to laugh,
and how to let my spirit be free.

In your class you spoke,
and never taught us anything.
We never learned a single thing.
Its funny though,
at the end of the year,
I knew so much more about English.
I wonder how that happened...

You taught me how to write,
how to let my spirit soar,
how to express my deepest emotions on paper.
You opened wide the fountains of thought to me,
showed me there are no limits in writing.
You taught me to write,
it must be your greatest gift to me,
save one.

The most important thing you taught me,
the thing I will always remember you for,
the reason I'm even writing this,
is because you taught me to love myself,
and I cannot say thank you enough.

Ms. Morgan,
I have no words to express everything I owe you.
You were my home in grade 8,
when I had nowhere else.
You were my mentor,
in class and out.
Without a doubt you were
the most important person in my life,
and though I'm afraid I cheapen my emotions
by attempting to write them,
here they are.
I love you,
I cannot thank you enough,
and I will remember you forever.

Love Kielo

I thought this was really awesome. I don't know about the part where you write about how you learned nothing...maybe that would come out wrong even though you said you ended up with knowledge......
as far as the grammar is concerned...not sure. I'm not good at that, but you could ask somebody to aid you with that.
For the most part, the content rocked and she'll love it.

Thank you. Personally, I don't like it... lol... I think I can do better. But thank you. I'm glad you thought so.

I have to agree about learning nothing... it does sound funny... Thanks again.

I LOVE YOU! *kisses you* hehehe...

I had a teacher like that. I still talk to her and see her though. This is really good but honestly if you think you could do a better job on it do it. Either way you will touch her heart!
