Every time I walk to school,
I meet my homeroom teacher, filled with love.
Her voice is gentle, soft, and sweet,
We are moved, touched by her words.

Despite the cold of winter,
I still feel the warmth of her affection.
Because she cares for each student,
Every moment, every minute, guiding us to study.

She always gives clear instructions,
We strive to become well-behaved students.
She handles everything, from home to school,
She is a shining example to us all.

For my homeroom teacher of class 7A5
Le Quy Don School - Hanoi

Ancient wisdom returns once more,
The deep affection of our teachers, so pure.
They bring the light that guides the youth;
Steering the boat towards the distant shore.

The boat reaches success in distant lands,
Grateful for the one who steers it with gentle hands.
This kindness, forever in our hearts,
For they helped us through life's bitter parts.

(Nguyen Trung Dung)

A lifetime, like a river flows...
How few stand at the riverbank, just gazing,
"To cross the river, you must rely on the boatman."
Life’s journey, with countless steps, depends on those who guide.

Through sun and rain, years go by,
The boat of knowledge, our teacher steers.
We cross, leaving smiles behind,
Sending love to the teacher we hold dear.

The wooden boat, the teacher’s snowy hair,
Follows us wherever we go, through all time.
The river’s path remains, always here,
As the teacher continues to guide others across the water.

(Thao Nguyen)

The teacher's hard work shapes us into who we are,
With deep affection and enduring kindness that stays in our hearts.
We strive to learn diligently, never fearing difficulty,
For the teacher’s wisdom will always remain etched in our souls.

The teacher is like the final waterfall of the river,
With fierce torrents, it all gathers here…
Flowing gently into the river, full and empty,
Gradually becoming clearer, waiting for the day to set sail.

Across the vast ocean, where the waves roar,
The teacher’s words still echo in our hearts.
For a thousand years, and until forever,
The teacher remains like the waterfall, while the students, like water, keep flowing.

The waves churn… the water evaporates,
Clouds swirl, winds shift, and rain returns to its source.

Author: Tùng Nguyễn Đức

The chalkboard wears down under the teacher's hands,
Footprints of wisdom mark the lecture halls.
Year after year, the teacher gives their all,
Listening to the quiet moments when strength falters.

The boat across the river carries the hope of reunion,
While the old dock stands, reluctant to change.
Through countless paths, the students strive,
Grey hair in faraway places, remembering their teachers.

Leaving our beloved school

How many years have passed, teacher?

In me, your teachings remain

Words of wisdom from you

That day, in autumn’s breeze

Our steps were filled with cheer...

You never said goodbye

And left the school without a word

I thought it was a dream

Where has my teacher gone?

Your voice still echoes softly

Time passes endlessly

But you never came back

We miss you, teacher, dearly

Hoping you’ll return someday

When you comforted us...

Now we’ve grown up

The time to leave school is near

When will we see you again?!

Author: Thảo Thảo

To my teacher, with the fragrance of spring’s bloom

For the countless days of gentle teaching

Guiding generations to build and grow

Your voice still echoes, so clear

Filling lives with love and happiness…

As you went, weaving dreams

The evening falls, and the cicadas sing

Your footsteps slow on the familiar path

A lifetime spent weaving dreams

So we could have a radiant childhood.

The boat is full, carrying dreams

Docking at the safe shore you’ve built

Time feels like a fleeting dream

In the blink of an eye, you’ve reached old age.

Thank you for the dreams of youth

Nurturing our spirits, never backing down

Today, we walk confidently on life’s path

Thanks to your care, we’ve grown strong.

November 20th is Teacher’s Day

A day to remind us to always remember

The kindness of our teachers

They stand strong through the sun and rain

And endure the cold winter nights

Filled with pride

For the benefit of future generations

They honor the teachings of the wise

Facing hardships without hesitation

Never complaining about the struggles

With the spirit of warriors

Who fought in the war years ago

Today, our teacher is a war veteran

Though wounded, they never rest

They persist with unwavering dedication

Like the cycles in Mendeleev’s system

The lessons they impart

Are engraved in our hearts forever

The principal, though elderly

Forgets their age

They continue to share the responsibility

Teaching students with love and care

This gratitude can never be forgotten

Teachers are always the foundation we build upon

They light the way with their guiding torch

Leading us with clear paths each day

They open our minds with tireless effort

The long journey of a thousand miles never deters them

They give hope to the younger generations

We will forever remember their kindness

With steady steps, we rise above

Taking the distant path to avoid life's pitfalls

Through storms and struggles, they stand by us

Our school is where love and humanity shine

One day, in the future, we will remember

For generations to come, we will carry their legacy

They illuminated our way and opened doors

So that we may confidently walk through life’s journey ahead

I wrote this poem for my old teacher,
Who has been in my heart for many days.
My teacher is someone I deeply respect,
Although he never wore a soldier's uniform.
He didn’t fear the sacrifice of war,
Instead, he traveled far and wide to teach.
After leaving university, he moved to the mountains,
And later returned to Diễn Châu.
Through war, bombings, and struggles,
He taught countless children with dedication.
Despite hardships, my teacher never gave up.
He walked thousands of kilometers,
With rubber sandals as his faithful companion.
He received only a small salary,
Yet he raised his children to grow strong.
His hardworking wife helped him overcome all obstacles.
When he got older, he returned to Hạnh,
Continuing to teach his students with care.
I still remember the practice sessions,
When we were not so well-behaved, and he grew tired.
He once said, 'If someone would trade with me to plow the fields, I'd do it,'
And I saw his eyes well up with tears.
Now that I’m a teacher myself, I understand the depth of his love,
He gave all his care to us, always watching over our steps and words.
Even though it's been over thirty years since I last saw him,
I rarely had the chance to visit when he was ill,
But I know he is old and frail now,
And his body suffers from the pain of age.
But teacher, please forgive me,
It’s not that I’ve forgotten 'Respecting teachers,'
But now I, too, am a teacher,
Caught up in the busy life of work and family.
Today, on Teacher's Day,
I write these words to you,
Wishing you good health,
So that you can enjoy each day with your grandchildren,
And that the students across the country,
Will always think of you, our beloved teacher.
