To My Teacher

Teachers' Day

#Thank You Teacher

TO MY TEACHER

Yours is all about giving

Like a candle burning itself

To dispel darkness

Little is given to you, but much is expected of you.

Luminous like the sun dispelling darkness

You are harbinger of hope

Like the coming of the rain which awakens seeds.

You are a bridge that links a generation to generation

A refinery of raw beings

Knowledge and character are your outputs

Pen and books are your rifles

In the offensive against illiteracy

What an onerous task you have!

A spring board you are

Giving others wings to fly

While you walk around

But how comes you are soon forgotten

When the fruit of your labour is ripe?

What everybody owes you is a debt of gratitude

That cannot be paid till eternity.
