Eighteen years, at my desk every day,
Kept the ______ turning, in my own little way.
Boss was a bluetit, oh so sweet and mild,
But sometimes she turned ______ a vulture wild.
Handled angry parents, dealt with all ______ mess,
From toddlers to teens, gave it my best.
______ the money, keeping books tight,
Cleaning up sick, late ______ the night.
Redundancy's here, and I feel so free,
______ weight off my shoulders, no more anxiety.
Got my ______ by my side, he's my rock and my guide,
______ his love, I know I'll decide.
I saw it coming, wasn't a surprise,
Redundancy payment, oh, what a prize.
______ I’ve got time, summer's calling my name,
Gonna find ______ passion, new role, new game.
Dealt with the chaos, ______ through the strife,
Gave it my all, in that ______ life.
Now it's my turn, to choose my own way,
A bright new future, starting today.
The school's behind me, memories remain,
But now I've got sunshine, instead of ______ rain.
No more Jekyll and Hyde, no more screeching calls,
Just me and my dreams, breaking down walls.
So here’s to freedom, to new days ahead,
To passions ignited, ______ more dread.
With love and support, I’ll find my way,
A bright new chapter, starting today.
