My heart admires you
For demonstrating the joys
Of practicing the noble profession of teaching;
My soul appreciates
The sacrifices you make
To proudly produce serviceable citizens.
Your innovative ways
Of nurturing minds
Excite my desire to obtain wisdom;
Your supportive spirit
Builds up my confidence
To be at the best of my abilities.
The guidance of a parent
And the companionship of a friend
That you conjointly grant with sincerity
Are special reasons
Why I feel so blessed
To inherit the precious gift of education.
You are my inspiration
In engraving the statement
"EVERY GREAT TEACHER IS A UNIVERSAL HERO";
I am one of the voices
That gratefully breathes,
"GOOD HEALTH BE WITH YOU,
MY DEAR TEACHER."
