In Your Hands (A Tribute for teachers: A Few to define the Many)

We want to cipher a small ode for you,

To thank you for every smile.

We know that you had a lot to do,

We are glad that you paused a while.

 For being a friend,

And taking time to show us,

Lessons hard to comprehend.

Your journey with us was not very easy,

If we could teach you,

We’d show you the positive effect

You have had on us and our lives.

In teaching you cannot see the fruits of a day’s work,

It remains invisible may be for years together.

Yet we mattered to you, you cared,

Cos when you reach out and touch us with your heart,

Then you hold what we are becoming in your hands...

Lessons you taught us yesterday have disappeared into time,

And though you are with us just a while today

You hold tomorrow’s smile in your hands…….

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,

But we have got it here all in our hearts..

We would be nothing without you,

Without Your blessings…

Sometimes it may seem like

students have forgotten how special you really are,

Even when it seems like no one is watching,

or when children blank out on just how important teachers are,

Teacher I will never forget what

I saw reflected in your eyes,

The somebody I could be……..

We salute you maam and sir..

You are the wind beneath our wings,

Thank you teachers, you have made all the difference…….
