Dear teacher, you are …
Dear teacher, you are …
the guiding light of knowledge in life
that dispels darkness of ignorance
the second parent who cares for me
in every want and makes me feel fitter
the star of hope and succor
that goads me do things always better
the visible demi-god who loves
to see me climb life's ladder's rungs with success
the role-model of virtues
and of etiquette
the example of a good human being
par excellence
the edifice of greatness
that turns monumental with time
the connoisseur of my thoughts,
dreams and desires
the friend most trustworthy
beloved and respectable
the trainer who ‘canes' me
with counsel of wordy discourse
the fountain of knowledge
that appeases my thirsty mind and heart
the spark of curiosity
that enflames my soul in search of truth
the best person next to my parents,
I have or ever had!
the unknown truth behind
my every success in life.
So, ‘Happy teachers' Day! '
I wish you from my heart.
May you live long, healthy, wealthy
Until you finally depart!
Most respectfully and lovingly dedicated to
All my dear teachers from school to college,
Who make me a better individual all the time!
