help to find a poem

[lashes2508]

Hi all, i have searched but cannot find a poem or verse that i know was put on here not too long ago - it was a verse put at the end of the learning journey - Inge was it you that posted it ??

 

i though i had copied but obviously not - have looked at others but cannot find the one i really liked

we used the one from Steve written by Sue Richardson.. . the footsteps one... parents loved it..

 

These feet of mine
will slowly tread
the path of my life
What lies ahead?
But the steps that I take
are hesitant still
and the choices I make
need your help to fulfill
As I leave (name of nursery)
Be with me when
I start at my school
I'll still need you then
I'll leave behind happy times
and walk towards more
with you right beside me
guiding me sure
So come down this path
and whatever the weather
there'll be two sets of footsteps
as we walk it together.

[Inge]

But we also used this one...

 

You are a very special person
And you should really know,
How we loved to teach you,
How fast the time did go.


Please come back to visit us
As through the years you grow,
Try hard to learn all you can,
There is so much to know.


One thing we tried to teach you
To last your whole life through,
Is to know that you are special,
Just because you are you.

 

Good luck in your new school!
We are all very proud of you!

 

 

or this one looks like it could be appropriate for leavers...

 

 

It's time to say. Good-bye.
Our year has come to an end.
We've made more cherished memories
And many more new friends.
We've watched your children learn and grow
And change from day to day
We hope that all the things we've done
Have helped in some small way.
So it's with happy memories
We send them out the door
With great hope and expectations
For what next year holds in store.
