A TEACHER

A selfless soul with commitment and devotion To every single child fluttering into temple of knowledge... Like GOD ALMIGHTY embracing HIS devotees With showers of love and blessings

A tireless human burning his energy Till its last ounce... To spread light of wisdom And drive away stark ignorance...

For him, service before self... And not self before service Determined to serve Though he serves to live...

A stepping but sturdy stone... The stone which leads to the shrine of success A step of a ladder to shoulder the youth... Humbles one step down for every step climbed up

A child climbs up further and further To reach the topmost echelon in faculty... A teacher may remain in threshold of his status But with immeasurable and ever cherished satisfaction

A little less or more informed Does not matter a bit If he has a tender heart and right attitude To kindle a spark and ignite curious minds

A teacher becomes exemplary self When inspires through words and deeds... Becomes a seemly guide When drives the young force into right path

A teacher becomes simple and approachable When befriends all the children... Becomes a true philosopher When induces noble thoughts in them

A spontaneous smile on a teacher And unconditional love on a child Spread light and warmth For the little angels to bloom like lotus

A teacher may need an E-class... not an ego clash... For the young minds know better than him! Must enter the class with open mind And heart filled with love, patience and affection in bounty.
