1. The Beauty of the Teacher
The seven teachers from the village
In their graceful traditional áo dài
They journeyed to the highlands
Bringing knowledge to countless students
The Teacher, caring and devoted
Working tirelessly through the years, guiding their way
Without seeking rewards, without counting the cost
Just wishing to ensure safe passage for the students
The Teacher’s love is vast and overflowing
Kind, compassionate, full of care and kindness
Devoting their heart to nurturing a garden
Helping each seed grow strong and pure
A shining example of a teacher’s spirit
Forever cherished by generations to come.

2. The Boat of Knowledge
I return to visit the old school
So many memories feel as if they just happened
With the teacher's hair touched by the mist
The blackboard and white chalk still here in the classroom
The boat is anchored at the riverbank
Taking the younger students with warmth and love
The purple flowers fall at the end of the road
The phoenix trees, with their sorrow, hold onto summer
The birds sing happily in the tamarind tree
The kite of our dreams takes us back to childhood
Beside the lesson plans, hour by hour
The teacher silently guides the boat across the river
Outside, golden rays of sunlight linger
The boat of knowledge, vast with the teacher's love.

Five years spent at school
So many memories, with the red phoenix flowers still lingering
Deep affection, warm and heartfelt
Remembering the selfless dedication in teaching
Teachers who care deeply, nurturing their students
Building hopes and dreams for the future
Wishing for their students to grow strong, surrounded by love
One day, upon graduation
To help build a prosperous and powerful nation
The school will remain beautiful forever
Just like Uncle Ho’s wise and heartfelt words
Our country will thrive
When independence, peace, and freedom are achieved
Teachers are the captains of the boat
Steady and strong, guiding their students to success.

4. The Teacher Has Retired
The month of May brings memories of the school
Teaching generations, guiding future paths
Endless lessons, day and night
Writing words in solitude, the long hours alone
The breeze softly whispers in the quiet night
In the stillness, countless thoughts arise
Outside, the bright moonlight shines
Through the window, the fading lights appear
Inside me, emotions fade away
The heart of a teacher, now in the past
Living out the rest of life
The retired teacher, holding on to unsaid words.

5. Celebrating Teacher's Day
Celebrating Teacher's Day
With words of kindness, love, and cheer
The soft willow branches bloom in red
The heart is deep, simple and clear
Today the sky is beautifully serene
The breeze carries warm and gentle poetry
Teachers nurture, guide, and grow
Countless generations, tending with care
Through summer sun and winter rain
For their students' futures, always with dedication
Crossing stormy seas, the journey is tough
But the captain leads, carrying all burdens
Today the feelings are so sincere
Teachers as parents, nurturing with love
In this place, emotions are full
The old school grounds, where childhood memories remain.

6. I Am a Preschool Teacher
I am a preschool teacher
Teaching each child, my spiritual offspring
From dawn to dusk, tirelessly working
Attending to meals, sleep, and gentle care
The little ones running with joy
Teaching with love, warm and sincere
Guiding their first letters with care
Helping them read and grow from the start
A fairytale garden of childhood dreams
Listening to my stories, their wishes take flight
Alongside their studies
Engaging in extracurricular activities, full of joy
Sowing seeds of wisdom, nurturing good habits
Helping them become independent, shaping their future
Competing for excellence, aiming for ten
The bright smiles of outstanding students
My work is hard, endless
Day and night blend into one, youthful dedication
At school, for the country, I do my best
At home, keeping everything in order, praised for my efforts.

7. The Teacher
The Teacher silently stands at the threshold,
Working on lesson plans late into the night,
While the rain falls softly outside,
Inside, the Teacher holds the pen and writes.
Staying up late for the word "because",
Because of the beloved students, united in heart.
And the Teacher waits eagerly and watches,
Hoping the children excel, fulfilling their duty.
Each day, the Teacher smiles with joy,
Still humorous, with a smile on the face.
Now the children have grown,
Remembering the Teacher’s image, guiding them forward.
Through generations, day and night,
Sometimes reflecting on what hasn't been achieved.
The "Heart" of the educator, in this field,
Is always the guiding support, walking with the children.
Collected


8. Honoring the Gratitude to Teachers
Respect the teacher, honor the path of knowledge,
Grateful for the Teacher who taught us long ago.
Through days of early departures and late arrivals,
In both sunny and rainy weather,
Yet the Teacher remains resolute,
For the cherished students and the familiar school.
Teaching us to never forget the essence of life,
To value morality and never overlook it.
From the very beginning, they nurture us,
Sowing dreams and hopes for our future.
May we always remember their words,
Achieving success, shining with pride and joy.

9. Remembering the Teacher
Those youthful days have passed by,
The image of the teacher remains so dear.
Every day, twice we went to school,
Now each of us has gone our separate ways.
I miss you so much, teacher dear,
Missing the teacher, the friends, all those moments together.
Where are you now, teacher?
I remember the familiar lessons you taught.
I wish you would stay young forever,
As the boat of knowledge crosses to the other shore,
Years of hard work you have invested,
Taking care of students, morning and night.
Teachers are like the boats that guide us,
Educating generations to become who we are today.
Here’s my tribute to the teachers,
With a heart full of gratitude and thanks.

10. Remembering the Teachers' Contributions
Everyone plants all kinds of trees
But our teachers only plant trees that grow people
As spring arrives and summer fades into fall
Our teachers continue tirelessly planting good people
Teachers plant trees so wonderfully
They teach us to laugh, speak, greet, and say thanks
Through countless years, braving sun and rain
Teachers remain dedicated day and night
Teachers cherish their noble profession
Just like trees bear fruit and fragrance
Beautiful flowers brighten the nation
Delicious fruits help build Vietnam
Teachers are the gardeners of our future
Whether a doctor or engineer, it’s thanks to our teachers
As we grow up and achieve success
We’ll never forget the teachers’ love and guidance
Students are the legacy that will last forever
Teachers are the architects of our souls
Our determination will always honor them
No matter where we go, from North to South, the gratitude will last a lifetime
The teachers' contributions stand as high as the mountains
Their love shines like stars in the sky.
