Teacher
K.V.SRIKANTH 1969 (Tamil Nadu)
Ignorance is innocence.
Learning is a Virtue.
One who bridges this gap,
Is the Guru.
Teacher the most revered word in the dictionary.
Shares knowledge,
An act divine.
Enlightens the mind.
Discipline Ethics Integrity
He initiates.
Lasts us a lifetime
Readies us for the future
Indebted we are forever.
Expresses no fear or favour.
Exactly like the law of Nature.
Judges our progress.
Merit is lauded.
Faults are Criticized.
Goal being Growth.
Ready to solve.
Until we evolve.
Parts Wisdom.
Shows Direction.
Guides with a firm hand.
Travels along till we Stand.
Aspiration Ambition a never ending list.
Guide you he will
Self doubt he mitigates
Confidence he enthuses
Impudence he amends
Trial by fire.
A teacher never tires.
Mock misbehave the master.
Hero amongst peers.
Regret comes later.
When things no more matter.
Missed your chance to
Celebrate
Rest of your life stagnate.
Class clown will drown
Cheat sheet will grieve
Rebel will stumble
Malicious will languish
The teacher shows up ,
When the Student is ready.
Often taken for granted
His influence cannot be measured.
In the old adage he is ranked before God
Even went on his knees ,when a lesson thought.
Set an example for,
Reverence required, regarding protocol.
Limitless but aware of limitations
Nothing more to offer.
Gives way for another.
Nobility is such
Altruistic apostle acts,
As almighty s attorney.
Assiduously ,anticipating
Aught as Annuity and Awards.
