To My Teacher

To My Teachers

Reminisce the time
When my mother parted me from
Her comfy lap
She showed me out to the
Abode of knowledge
And wisdom
My School!
There I met many loving and
Affectionate faces
Full of erudition and intellect
They gradually opened the pages
Of my blank conscience
And wrote there
"In the name of Almighty"
This was my first lesson
Ever since my wisdom thrived
They told me that
How love can play wonders and win hearts
And how knowledge synchronizes with
One's ' will power'
And.. how soul can overwhelm, one's body.

Apart from books they taught
Nonetheless taught their practices
Their loving attitude was imitating worth
The punishment they awarded
Made me able to ponder over
How to condemn all that is wrong and vile,
They speech inspired my flair and eloquence
Their silence suggested me
Where to pause, think
And rationalize,
Sparkle of their eyes enlightened my mind
Smile of their faces made me infer
The secrets of grace and humility.
Their 'appreciation' instilled in me
Confidence and self-belief.

By the time I finished my last class
Many of my teachers had been
Transformed into my soul;
Even though I am not in the school now
But they are always with me
And I still find my way
In the light of their teachings
