My teacher, My Preacher

The blackboard of my life,

Was filled with your wise words.

The chapters of book,

Ended up giving moral lessons.

Every printed ink

Inspired us to gain heights.

Nothing would have been possible

If you weren't sensible.

At times you were strict,

Not every time you were lenient,

Yet you taught us well!

Failure or success wasn't important

How well it hit the heart

Wasn't to be forgotten!

Many untold stories

Sang songs of glories!

These were golden memories

To be cherished for centuries.

Respect and love was all we offered

You made sure no one suffered!

Keeping aside all your pride,

You stayed all time by our side.

I thank you, teacher!

For being my preacher!

Your words of love and inspiration

Will be forever engraved in my destination!
