Retiring patriots in the teaching profession

The noble profession that needs no introduction

You have developed the true meaning of independence

Educating each young soul over your thirty over years

To do everything with a clear purpose and accountability too

They have understood and appreciated their self worth

One that is above the world's envy and material pursuit

Or the fall of man will not be easily digested

Celebrate and take heart, fellow patriots

You've done your duty to your utmost best

A legacy your students will treasure and behold

Rejoice though not all of them achieve their dreams

For each has been assigned a job according to talents

They will take the lead to prove their true worth

All because they have learnt from you, their beacon

A lighthouse and a model, the pride of the profession
