Teachers have many intriguing forms
In the life of a growing child
Their behaviour varies with their norms
Some are strict, while some are mild
Some are bold in inspiring confidence.
Some offer powerful, silent support.
In school life, which bond has more prudence
Than a student and a teacher’s rapport?
Despite the din of the class ruling mightily,
The teacher’s voice doesn’t fade;
A student or two sits as quietly
As a predator in a thick bush’s shade
My mind becomes alert with curiosity.
As a teacher explains concepts with zeal
I admire all teachers, for they fight adversity
With a heart of gold and nerves of steel
The teacher is a God in Indian culture
Yet they’re losing their societal respect
It’s time for our nation’s developing future
To think deeply, for they have much to introspect
