“The Gardener”

(A tribute to all teachers)

Let me introduce to our teacher

Who is also a guardian and preacher

Guiding and nurturing from a youthful age

To raise us up with a healthy image.

As soon as the morning bell tolls

He started his routine – heart and soul

Never does he skips a single day

Sickness and malady are kept at bay.

He may be tired, his voice may whimper

His zest and zeal, nothing gets dimmer

Never to be seen in fits or rage

Happy and contented on not so high a wage.

His loving kindness is like a mountain

Goodwill from him flows like a fountain

He looks after us as one of his own

His empathy towards us is very well known.

Hearing the success of his ‘daughters and sons’

He beams as though ‘a war was won’

He is now overjoyed and highly thrilled

His life seems to be thus fulfilled.
