Teacher's Day

We are born with a canvas all blank and white,

Teachers in our life fill it with colours infinite.

My first day of school is very close to my heart,

My first teacher was a real sweetheart.

She taught me to read and to write,

And also to stand up for one self and fight.

Sangeeta Mam was my teacher in class 2,

She made me realise all the things that I can do.

I can be a pilot flying high or an explorer digging deep,

I can be big, successful and rich but should not forget to be humble and also sweet.

I also remember my Allen Mam,

From whom my first thrashing came.

She taught me to accept defeat and blame,

It is also a part of the life game.

Games were always my favourite class,

I loved being free in the lovely green grass.

Ajay Sir taught me so many trick,

To win the matches and races real quick.

I was the discipline minister in my school,

And basketball captain in matches of inter school.

Everything I have learnt and achieved in my school life,

There was always a teacher to help me sharpen my knife.

Numerous teachers who have helped me in my school and college,

Are the flag bearers of my personality and my knowledge.

The closest teachers whom we often forget, Are the ones who gave us life and protected us under their bonnect.

They taught us to eat, talk and everything else, My parents are my teachers and living models.

My daughter whom I have given birth,

Keeps me enlightened and down to earth.

Amidst all these teachers around us,

There is someone who teaches with no fuss.

Life breaks us and pushes onto a plight,

But sun always rises after a stormy dark knight.
