The poem reads:
What is a Teacher?
A walker, a talker, a corridor stalker
A leader, director & tactful corrector
A role-model, tutor, a whiz with computer
A natural persuader, a daily first-aider
A reader, a writer, reports all-nighter
A printer, protector, a problem deflector
A marker, a setter, a sender of letter
A natural orator, a known confiscator
A divider, decider, a spare pen provider
A cutter, a sticker, a fair-minded picker
A debater, relater & smile reinstater
A pairer, a carer, a lesson preparer
A defender, a lender, a broker & mender
A creator, inventor, inspiring mentor
A smiler, a filer, a stay back a while
A parent reminder, lost property finder
A keen finder-outer, & sometimes a shouter
A describer, reviser, a trip organiser
A thinker, a winker, a covered in inker
An on your sider & staff-room resider
That’s what makes a Teacher!

A Letter to Mum
To my wonderful Mum
I have to say sorry
For the teenage tantrums
And all of the worry
For all the times
I answered you back
Sulked and protested
And veered off the track.
Thanks for forgiving,
(Just one of your gifts)
For the listening ear
The advice and the lifts
Your unquestioning love
Your caring devotion
The hugs and support
At times of commotion.
You told me the truth
Yet let me be me
And helped me to find
Who I wanted to be.
You shaped me and gave me
All that you had
Stayed by my side
In good times and bad.
So thank you for showing
What parents should be
With all of my love Mum
Forever - from me.

A Letter to Mummy
To my wonderful Mummy
I just have to say,
I think you are perfect
In every way.
You work so hard
To give me the best
With you on my side
I feel truly blessed.
Thanks for the kisses,
The stories, the fun
For keeping me safe
And being my mum.
I want to say sorry
For the mess that I make
For the noise and the tantrums,
The things that I break.
For all of the times
I wake you at night,
For when I am ill
And it gives you a fright!
But I need you and love you
And if there’s a muddle
I know you are there
With your voice and your cuddle.
So thank you for showing
What mothers should be
With love dearest Mummy
Forever… From me.
