A JOURNEY OF LEARNING

As the bell goes off, with tears in their eyes

Arrives the tiny dots, under vast open skies

With trembling feet, they cross the gate

Scared of what lies ahead, fear innate

Their hearts heavy, their sobs unheard

Never having felt so weird and absurd

But, there stands a lady, with arms outstretched

On whose face was kindness clearly etched

She takes them in, like a mother with her child

Minutes later, at her they smiled

The young little ones stared in surprise

“Could it be my mom in disguise”?

She never confined to the facts in books

Taught them about life and it’s hooks

She taught them to dream, to reach the sky

To never give up and aim it high

She's always been a beacon of light

Supporting them, all day and night

The lessons on life, which she impart

Has always been close to their heart

They shared with her their dreams and fears

She wiped away many countless tears

She always knew to see them through

Vicious seas they never knew

But, my dear friends, this ain’t a tale!

Ain’t be forgotten at cocktail

This be the story of every student

Who grows to be smart and prudent

So, here’s to you, our beacon in the fray

With heartfelt emotions, we proudly say

Thank you, Teachers, for everything you did

For molding this naughty, little kid!
