Teacher

The Universe bestowed us a candle

That sets alight to our life’s preamble.

Revives curiosity in young minds,

And elevates us from dropping behind.

Dear Teacher, you’re our inspiration

Who builds our life’s fortification.

You examine the worst in us

And unwrap the best from us.

With divine patience, you lead us to kaizen

Educates us to stretch out to horizons

If I’m standing here, it is because of you.

Your dedication cannot be reimbursed with a thank you.
