Hey there! This poem is a little shout-out to my colleagues who are starting a new chapter in their teaching journey. While they might not be with the same group of folks they’ve become really comfortable with, I hope they’ll be excited for the new opportunities and experiences ahead. And if you’re starting a new job or moving into a new role, too, I wish you all the best. May you find a new group of people who will be your support system, your Tribe, who will be there to cheer you on and have your back!
starting on your journey,
may strength and wisdom
be with you always,
health, joy and good relationships
may come your way,
as you tackle each day
with grace and poise
wishing you success
in all your endeavors,
a workplace where you feel
safe and sound,
may the fruits of your labor
bring you pleasure,
as you make your mark
with every step you take,
shall bound
from various paths we have come,
and while our roots may be diverse,
we pledge to unite as one,
Embracing every verse.
With open minds and open hearts,
We seek a shared purpose,
To walk in empathy and art,
And in each other, trust.
Through understanding and love,
We’ll bridge our differences,
Together, we’ll soar above,
And reach beyond the fences.
So let’s join hands and stand tall,
To build a better tomorrow,
For united, we cannot fall,
And together, we shall grow.
We are The Tribe 💙😊💐
