Poem for Kevins retirement celebration tonight: Not Just a Teacher This is your opus this is your time this is your song your mark your voice spreading out beyond the crowd countless students changed for good from a mentoring word a coaching “atta boy” a kind look, a way of being there always there the thousands of papers graded with careful kindness always a warm classroom with a warmer heart Your songs your poetry your history lessons all splayed out among us Imagine all of the students lined up from one end of the school to another and back again all standing in unison with gratitude falling from their hands Decades that turn into the deep creases in our hands holding onto them like we will you like songs, like words like the long curve of history this is your opus By Connie Post
