Ode to My Beloved Students

In the resplendent halls of Methodist Girls' High, celestial stars are found,
Favour Okpe, my JSS 1 school daughter, shining as the radiant sun, profound.
Edimenere, with her relentless academic prowess, a luminous beacon of light,
Angel Lekiah, a resplendent superstar, a mirror of my childhood's delight.

Gift Eberechukwu in JSS 2, a stunning brainiac of supreme intellect,
Alongside Boma, whose brilliance ascends to the heavens, a paragon of respect.
With seventeen more, each one cherished and stupendous, a joy divine,
Their presence fills my heart with narratives sublime.

In every smile and every stride, my elation is true,
Teaching you all has been an ethereal dream come true.
Each lesson learnt, each challenge embraced with grace,
In you, I envisage a future bright, a wondrous place.

Favour, with laughter that brings forth the dawn,
Edimenere, your diligence, an indomitable force, second to none.
Angel, your spirit ascends like the morning star,
Gift, your intellect radiates brilliance near and far.

Boma, a symphony of heart and mind, perfectly intertwined,
Each student here, a beloved friend, uniquely designed.
Through trials and triumphs, together we have grown,
In the fertile garden of knowledge, your seeds are sown.
Valentina, with wisdom surpassing her years,
Hannah Adawo, a conqueror of fears.
All SS1 students, with their boundless zest,
Every moment with you, I feel truly blessed.

The SSS 2 students, with Emmanuella and Tari,
Their liveliness and eruditeness, exemplary and starry.
In every classroom, they bring unparalleled joy and light,
With minds so sharp and futures so bright.

Every effort, every tear, every smile,
Has made each moment of teaching you supremely worthwhile.
With gratitude, I behold you flourish and ascend high,
Under the nurturing embrace of Port Harcourt's sky.

Methodist Girls', where dreams majestically take flight,
In every corner, you illuminate with celestial light.
From JSS 1 to 2, through every scholarly grade,
Your brilliance, my joy, shall eternally cascade.

You’ve imparted as much as you’ve learned from me,
In this symphony of enlightenment, every note rings free.
Your futures gleam like constellations in the night,
As you journey onward, shining with boundless might.

With every step you take, know my heart,
Will eternally cheer for you, never to part.
For in teaching you, I've found my ultimate bliss,
A bond so pure, in every laugh, every kiss.

Remember always, as you soar and climb,
In my heart, you'll dwell throughout time.
For teaching you has been an exalted honour, my dear,
In every lesson, you’ve brought me endless cheer.

As the years unfurl and your paths are new,
Carry forth the lessons and love, ever true.
In the grand tapestry of life, you are the golden thread,
A legacy of wisdom, in all you’ve said.

With every dawn, you’ll ascend and shine,
Your dreams, your aspirations, forever entwined.
In the echo of your laughter, my heart will sing,
For you are my joy, my everything.

To all my students, from past to present,
Your journey is a gift, a glorious ascent.
In each of you, I see a future bright,
Thank you for the memories, the pure delight.
