Hands That Never Left Us
Hands That Never Left Us
We held their hands the first day at school
An aura of fear and apprehension
Tears rolled down our eyes
Left alone with a stranger
Carrying the load of bag and bottle
As curious and annoyed one could be
Was it the start of a new bonding?
As the years went by, you did us proud
With your guiding hand and understanding smile
Your undeniable style gave them
Love and wisdom of life gently
Taught the value of reading and writing
Use your firm hands to break the fights
Gently you made them eat their lunch
No wonder, you made learning so fun!
Y
ou made them walk on a path of self-reliance
Cared and cured our precious possession
You looked and overlooked every bit
Of innocent pranks of these children
You carved the dumbest of the dumbest fools
You became a role model
A true mentor and a motivator
Your words of comfort
Instiled trust and confidence
You are a unique creation of God
Helped each child in believing and
Building up their dreams
You are truly one to be admired
Higher tribute we pay you
We honour you day by day
On this auspicious day
Happy Teachers day!!
