Today, September 5th – A day to remember with gratitude; the love, selflessness and dedication of our teachers. Be it in school, college or otherwise in our personal lives, teachers leave a lasting impact.
So here’s to all those wonderful teachers – the light in our lives. Happy Teachers’ Day !
Lost I was,
In the dark woods,
Under dense thickets,
Unable to see, or breathe.
Had I ceased to exist ?
I wandered aimless,
Till she found me,
Held me close,
Choosing to show me the way,
Out of the woods,
Into the light of the world.
She showed me,
the magic of letters,
the world of stories
the beauty of numbers.
She led me,
To face my fears,
To speak my mind,
With courage, conviction.
She taught me,
To be curious, to explore
and dream sans limits !
She was there,
When there was no light,
She held the candle,
So I could see my way,
She gave me her shoulder,
So I could cry my heart out,
Lost and scared, I was.
She was there. Always.
What do I give her,
In return, for all that ?
I do not know, really,
What gift for her ?
That would match her,
The strength of her will,
The light of her heart
Or, the beam of knowledge
She has shone for me,
Who was lost without her !
