Teacher, Teacher,
You are the morning eagle
You stand at the gate
Like a security guard
And caution us the late comers
Teacher, Teacher,
You talk like a preacher
Preaching everyday
As if no one is listening
Or paying attention
Teacher, Teacher,
You speak wisdom
Preach common sense,
Scream and hit us
When we don’t listen
Teacher, Teacher,
You are never tired
You talk all day
Your day never changes
All in the name of education
Teacher, Teacher,
You give us the best
Even if you have to repeat
You do so with patience
You value education
Teacher, Teacher,
Thank you for the hard work
Time and commitment
God bless all teachers.
Thanks for all your comments..

Yes this comes from within and someone can express the bond to the persons that have taught one to write. Thanks from a teacher
