MY DEAR TEACHER

Teacher  you are so kind ,
all that you teach, fits in my mind.
Teacher  to me you are
what sunshine is to a flower.

Teacher you made me aware of  who
I am and inspired me to do  what I can
teacher you are the gardener
who trimmed a rough hedge like me.

Teacher your selfless efforts  sustained me,
yours is the credit for what I'll be
Teacher , like the
Fragrance of your Teaching.
The  perfume still lingers,
like your preaching.

Teacher you imparted your knowledge
and gave me so much courage .
Teacher thanks for being who you are,
I will never forget you even if I go very far.

Gopi A. Kapadia , Kutch, Gujarat.
