Special Teachers:
Teachers,
getting us ready for our future,
we get mad,
cry,
yell,
laugh,
and have some of the happiest moments we could ever experience with our teachers. If anybody deserves to be recognized, it is our teachers. But no trophy or award could ever express our gratitude. The best gift that we could ever give our teachers
is to graduate and succeed in life. That's why they are here today and have dedicated their lives to teaching children who are special, smart, gifted, tall, thin and husky. That is exactly what a child is to a teacher, and that's why we can touch the sky, and when, God willing, we sometimes go beyond the moon.

-By Andrea V. Gomez

I dedicate this poem to all the teachers that taught me all through elementry school forever, and always.

Forever:
We met in high school
Now we will be cool
Forever!!!
We been thru our ups and down
But every time we hit the ground
We got back up
Not giving a WAT
Not what people say?
About our strut
How we walk
With our heads up
And standing tall
It's hard for us to stay strong,
Were we think we belong
But we know
Even with them
We think of each other
You say I’m like your bother
You're like my sister
And that all that matters
And we don't care about all that chatter
But they know not to step to us
Knowing that we won’t ever cuss
We won’t get mad
Cause that aint us
All we do is brush
Them off with the dust
Off our shoulders
Cause aint no one colder
Them us we cool
So cool so clever
With bending the rules
And we will be friends
FOREVER!!!

-Kenneth Q. Rodgers

A Dozen Roses
A dozen roses I give to you my friend
A gift that seems so small
But they represent so much
Our friendship most of all.

A rose for the friendship
A rose for the touch
A rose for the trust we share
Our sharing means so much.

A rose for the kindness
And the deep caring you show
A rose for the comfort given
When I've been feeling low.

A rose for the laughter
How it makes your eyes shine
A rose for the dreams we share
It's amazing how they intertwine.

A rose for the deep respect
You give to me with ease
A rose for the love we feel
And how you wish to please.

A rose for your compassion
That has helped me in so many ways
A rose for bringing me sunshine
That has brightened all my days.

The last rose is the best
For it stands so proud and tall
This rose represents you
My best friend of all.
-Joyce L. Regna

I dedicate this poem to my best friends in elemantry school, Tam H. Nguyen and Hilary Liao.On June 15 we are graduating to seperate middle schools and this poem will help me remember them now and the on going years to come. crying


Best Friends
Looking back through the years,
I can't believe how long
We have been best friends,
Through good times and bad.

When I needed someone to cry,
With me and laugh together
Give me a shoulder to lean on,
And a hug to make me feel better.

You know how true it is,
When you know that no matter what
Happens or goes on down the road,
That there will always be best friends.

So as time passes and days go by,
Just remember that when you need me
That no matter what time or place,
I will always be there by your side, my best friend.
-Terry L. Hockenberry Jr

I would also dedicate this poem to Tam N. too.

My Angel Left Without Me
Today I sit underneath of this tree, Next to this very stone!
I've been coming here for 18 years, All of which I’ve been alone!
I can still make out the writing, that lies above your grave!
In Loving Memory Of An Angel, and the blessings that she gave!
We met so long ago, Since then you've been my one and only true Best Friend!
I remember every second, Up until the very end!
I remember I was driving, the roads were really wet that night!
I wasn't going fast at all, But those lights were just too bright!
I remember when I woke, Not knowing what to do!
The very first thing that came to my mind, was not myself but you!
You laid there just looking at me, as if it was your final glance!
I grabbed your hand, looked to the sky, and said, Please One More Chance.
I remember the day of the funeral, All of our family and friends!
I remember when the preacher said, When one life ends, a new begins!
Before they put you in this ground, I walked over to see you one last time!
I kissed your lips and held your hand, and One More Chance went through my mind!
I asked God Why not me, Why you, and what I did so wrong?
He said everything has purpose, And that life must be lived on!
So I live it on this very moment, Always remembering the day!
That God sent me My Angel, And then took her away!
- Codie E. Gillum
