Welcome to

Mrs. Best’s Class

I’ve worked with your flower,

And helped it to grow

I’m returning it now,

But I want you to know…

This flower is precious

As dear as can be.

Love it, take care of it

And you will see

A bright new bloom

With everyday…

It grows in such a special way.

In August, a bud,

Midyear, a bloom;

Now a lovely blossom

Comes home to you in June.

Remember this flower

As dear as can be;

Though rightfully yours…

Part belongs to me!

These may not be my words but they are truly my sentiments. Have a wonderful summer!

Love,

Mrs. Best
