Yes, I Am A Teacher!

I hold your little hands, and teach you to write,

Build your confidence and play games with delight.

Reading and listening skills constantly I hone,

Language and Math lessons never leave you alone.

To your curiosity and  wonder I lend a a gentle hand,

Your fears, your desires, I try to understand.

Through value-based lessons, I teach you what is right,

Encourage and propel you towards a future bright.

Social skills and healthy competition,

Knowledge about the world and our nation,

With dedication and passion I teach you all

And I am right beside you , lest you have a fall.

Manners and etiquette, Music and Art,

Sports , games and most importantly, compassion in your heart.

I teach you life lessons, within the classroom walls,

Guide you , goad you, inspire you, beyond duty’s call.

Yet, there are those,  who undermine my worth,

They say of good teachers, there is a dearth.

Teachers have no respect, or so they often say,

But I see love and respect in my kids eyes, each day.

Yes, I am a teacher, a very proud one I add,

I make other professions , of that I am glad.

Doctor, engineer, scientist or the CEO of a firm,

None would be possible without a teacher teaching a term.

Yes, I am a teacher, and  it’s great to see kids grow,

I lay the foundation of their future, in time they will know.

Till then I continue, to touch their lives each day,

Make a difference slowly, and brighten up their way.
