Shelby M. Forrest - A Tribute to a Teacher Retiring lyrics

These thirty years have quickly pa**ed, Too soon now you'll retire There's many a child through all these years In whom you've sparked a fire. Each student you have tried to teach To make and seek his goal And all along you've done your best To play the model role In children you have tried to make Desire for learning burn You've left the cla**room for our youth A better place to learn And all this time you've managed well To lore and love impart The memories that you leave with us We'll cherish in our hearts. The void you leave behind you will On each now take its toll But part of you here stays with us A part of your spirit and soul
