My dear Joyce,
What a wonderful, heartfelt gift to your lucky students!

I have read your AD biography and many, many of your posted reviews of the works of others, and I want to say now that you are a loving and caring person who makes an unbelievable impact on a huge number of readers and writers of Authorsden. My dearest Joyce, you are truly a treasure and one who makes this world so much better with your very presence among us.

Thank you, my Dear Heart, for being such a wonderful and positive influence on us all.

With love, admiration and respect,
Richard

I applaud you! Teachers are special messengers to encourage the youth, young and old! Thank you for reading my poem and commenting so encouragingly. It meant so much to me. Thanks teach!

You have summarized your memories so beautifully in this poem! What better memories than Pride and Green Eggs and Ham. Your poem reflects my own school day memories. Stop in and visit me on my authors den.

Joyce,
This poem is full of emotions - a great reflection on the year you had with your kids. It must be hard to let go. A tender and beautiful read! Hugs.

Joyce, I know your students will miss you dearly. Don't worry, you will be hearing them giggle hello's next year. You are blessed to work as a Teacher. I worked many a year with delayed children. I carry the memories in my heart each day as the glimpe of their faces come to me to hold. The book cover and poem lovely my dear friend.

I'd stop by even if you weren't my teacher. Such a heartwarming write and experience. It is wonderful that you can look back on a year of teaching and say all this. there is no doubt that teaching is your passion. Excellent. Liz

I always enjoy your wonderful Wrires
Peace & Love

Joyce another golden penning.
"Within my Heart" was a joy to read as you reflected upon the memories, I too remember when Brice had that operation. I know you just want to hug all those little ones up and yet you have to let them go as the butterflies they really are.

Wishing you the best,
~Gwendolyn

Joyce, so many wonderful memories carved out of love to revisit many times over, a good year remembered. Through words of inspiration you have walked many into their future with a firm and loving foundation....

Be always safe,
Karen

This poem is wonderful, Joyce. What a memorable write--recapping the things that have happened throughout the year.

You know, I still remember the end of last year for you and that little one room school house you and your students visited. I recall how busy you were getting report cards done, cum folders, etc. And now, here it is another "end of the year"

You take me back in time when I read your writings about your job, school, and the students. I really enjoyed this write.

Without realizing, you write your own tribute from parents and children that will appreciate all your words and deeds! Well done, TEACHER...well done!!
Blessings and Love ~~ Micke

Thios is a beautiful tribute to your students
God Bless

You are the teacher that many of us
Always wished we had
And your kids are very luck to have you!
I only wish there where more like you
Then maybe the number of dropouts
would decreased and kids would have
A better chance for a wonderful future!!
My favor is
Smiles with empty spaces that were filled by their teacher's love.
A true statement your love for those kids
show through each line!!!
Congratulations you should be very proud of yourself
You have made a difference in this children's lives!!

Smiles with empty spaces that were filled by their teacher's love.
Yes, we need more teachers like you today, but then, they can't survive with that meagre pay...

Georg

Teaching is truly your passion, and we need many more teachers today, just like you!

I bet the children and parents loved this what a gift you gave them my friend. Inspiring teacher and inspiring poem. Love, Bonnie

I hope we have many more teachers like you and there will be a bright day for our Countries future.

Joyce, what an inspiring uplifting poem about the love for your students & how much you enjoyed having them in your class. It sounds like you all had a marvelous time. You captured a picture of a classroom of interested students & a teacher so willing to give of herself to her students. I'd say this is great!
