An Ode to our Guiding Light

Author: Advika Narkar, Class IX C

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
