The poem reads:
What is a Teacher?
A wiper, a blower, an everything knower
A listening ear, a calm refereer
A reader, a writer, reports all-nighter
A printer, protector, a problem deflector.
A marker, a setter, a sender of letter
An assessor, a planner, a maker of banner
A natural orator, a known confiscator
A divider, decider, a spare clothes provider.
An artist, a potter, a lace unknotter
A sticker, a tricker & fair-minded picker
A debater, relater & smile reinstater
A pairer, a carer, a costume preparer.
A defender, a lender, a broker & mender
A creator, inventor, inspiring mentor
A smiler, a filer, a stay back a whiler
A parent reminder, lost property finder.
A keen finder-outer, & sometimes a shouter
A walker, a talker, a corridor stalker
A play director, a tactful corrector
A designer & baker, a help with mistaker.
A role-model, tutor, a whiz with computer
A natural persuader, a daily first-aider
A describer, reviser, a trip organiser
A weigher, displayer, a patient game player
A thinker, a winker, a covered in inker (removed if a message is added)
An on your sider & staff-room resider (removed if a message is added)
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.

I think you are perfect
In every way.
You work so hard
To give me the best

Thanks for the kisses,
The stories, the fun
For keeping me safe

I want to say sorry

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
