Poem for JG

You walked into the classroom with a toss of your head
You made your presence felt with every word that you said
 
You were curious and eager to learn from the start
Your  unwavering confidence set you apart
 
You always paid attention when I taught something new
You were thoughtful and careful to understand it too 
 
Your furrowed brow and serious frown as you figured something out
Made me certain you'd “get it” without any doubt
 
Over these last few months, you have learned so much more
You've grown from strength to strength and there's so much in store
 
You were always a great friend to all in your class
You've been good to them and respected them, such friendships will last
 
They'll remember you as go on to make friends elsewhere 
There will never forget and always know that you really cared
 
I know you'll be successful wherever you go
Your kind heart and caring nature will always show

You walked into the classroom with a toss of your head

You made your presence felt with every word that you said

 

You were curious and eager to learn from the start

Your  unwavering confidence set you apart

 

You always paid attention when I taught something new

You were thoughtful and careful to understand it too 

 

Your furrowed brow and serious frown as you figured something out

Made me certain you'd “get it” without any doubt

 

Over these last few months, you have learned so much more

You've grown from strength to strength and there's so much in store

 

You were always a great friend to all in your class

You've been good to them and respected them, such friendships will last

 

They'll remember you as go on to make friends elsewhere 

There will never forget and always know that you really cared

 

I know you'll be successful wherever you go

Your kind heart and caring nature will always show
