retirement poem for teacher

[thinkerbell]

Does anyone have a cute poem for a teacher who is retiring that kids could recite to her? I have looked on-line but can only find one and it isn't really her. It says a lot about being a computer guru and she isn't. This is for a 4th grade teacher.
Thanks

Thanks marissat!! I love that site. I didn't find a poem but I found lots of quotes that would be cute for the kids to say--some are retierment, some about reading(that is our class theme for her retirement), and some about the sweet, inspiring person that she is. That site sent me in a whole different direction. Now instead of just the poem, I think I will have each child to say a quote and then they can all say a poem together.

Now, since Marisatt got me all those quotes can anyone else help me find a poem?

not a poem suggestion but a retirement card (or poster)-when the early childhood ed professor at my college was retiring, i was called upon to make some form of a large card everyone could sign. i took a medium sized pc. of poster board and drew the picture from sendak's "where the wild things are" in which the wild things are waving to the child and tears are on their faces. i drew a characature of the teacher in place of the child with the card reading "and the wild things said 'oh please don't go, we'll eat you up -we'll miss you so". the students (both current and former) signed the card which was then framed and presented to the teacher.
