Norah Bolubatolu Ratu

Abstract Drama

Teacher's Day

Teacher's Day

1 min
374



Rises before the sun

Says a prayer before they wake up

Sets the table before they shower

Is the teacher but a single parent at home


Running late scrumbles out the door

A taxi to catch fares to pay 

Skip lunch for all is enough to catch a bus home

A tough life for a single parent a teacher


Dinner is ready for the kids

Then it's to their study rooms

No rest just a shower a cup of coffee

A typist role now typing her life away


Worksheets and tests assignments and programs

Memos and reminders all neatly creatively typed

Yawns and drops on the couch 

Dawn breaks to the same routine five days in a week


Dedicated to her role as the provider for her home

Dedicated to her job as the teacher in the classroom

A service she gives to nurture and impart knowledge 


A profession she remains loyal to 

Her silent tears she conceals with a smile

Her silent struggles she throws to the back of her mind

To sweat to gain for the love of her children


Yet when at last her wrinkled face show no light

Her worn tired limbs give way and she stumbles and crashes to the ground

That smile remains in her face and she looks up to heaven

Utters her last words all for your service the work is done

I am coming home
