Intrepid

Yesterday, my favorite, and most inspiring teacher was forced to resign for reasons unknown. He always wrote poems when he wanted to teach us a lesson, so I thought I would write one back, to let him know how much he meant to me, and all of the other 8th graders. He always used the word Intrepid, and it was kind of a thing between us all.

For Mr. R

They say that all you need to know you learn when you are young,

But I believe that thats not true because of all you’ve done

You’re more than just a teacher, you’re a companion, a friend,

And the list of all we’ve learned from you never never ends

You said that when united, accomplish anything, we would,

You believed in us, you said that with a will, we could

We’re so glad we got to know you, for however short it was,

You made a difference in all our lives, like no one ever does

Intrepid you were, and intrepid we’ll remember you,

And hope, that maybe someday, we’ll be intrepid too
