By Don Henderson Annie G. taught us all You see, You, your brother, sister, Dad And me Reading, ‘ritin, ‘rithmetic Enough grammar to make you sick It wasn’t her fault if it Didn’t stick Our Annie G. ruled with an Iron hand Strong discipline at Her command Inside, hidden from many Was her Godly part Her kind and Gentle heart Art, math, grammar, reading, choir And more Annie G. taught you until your Brain was sore Annie G. was one of a kind That’s for sure Heart of gold, unwavering, Dedication pure Chosen as one of God’s Special creatures Chosen to be a teacher Our Annie G. Taught you and me She taught more than books, Grammar or math She taught us how to follow The right earthly path For 50 years or more she Gave it her all Teacher, educator, friend, Answering God’s call She did her very best Instilling values so we Could pass Life’s test Now time has passed and Memories too Many wonder and say, “Annie, who?” But God knows her and She now has a heavenly job Teaching grammar to An angelic mob Hail to Miss Annie Pope Gilreath Who taught us all Thank God she answered her call Lord, forgive us our dangling participles And grammatical sins But look how much worse If Annie G. had never been. So, we all salute this lady Who dedicated her life Helping student’s cure Grammatical strife God has a special place in heaven For all teachers and ladies like her Though, naming a school for Annie G Might never occur If that honor on earth can never be We know that God will honor this lady Throughout Eternity, Our Annie G.
