Our cikgu, our friend

From calculus to algebra to trigonometry

To alpha to beta to pi and to Phi

Your courage to chase away the distracting bee

Halfway through teaching b² - 4ac

Your patience with us

When we struggled with inverse

But never once did you raise your voice

Even when we made you repeat more than thrice

For your love and dedication

Your commitment and patience

And for guiding us until the very end

Now we are proud to call you Teacher and Friend

Alas, good things never really last

But rest assured, gratitude does

Our journey may have been cut short

But we will remember you and all that you’ve taught

Above are all the things we thank you for

If I had no word limit, I’d write so much more

Lastly, do stay healthy and live long

Happy retirement, Puan Leong

Keun Yoong!
