As we began a new phase in our life,
Dressed in tiny little pinafores.
You welcomed us with open arms,
Through the gates of the place we weren't going to forget for eons!
My love for reading, dancing, music and debate,
Did only because of you originate.
Dear miss, you are everything I aspire to be,
Humble, compassionate and an inspiration for all, truly!
As you sat in class calm and composed dealing with the general hullabaloo,
In my heart immense respect grew for you.
From asking us to keep our voices down to joining in our friendly banter,
Dear Miss, you have always been our anchor!
An ability of yours which I’m proud to say,
Blew us all away,
Was your 360 degree vision and infrasonic sense of hearing,
Which always seemed to activate when your back was turned and we were talking.
You imbibed in us values,
That we will cherish evermore.
Just like those rare free periods,
Which we always looked out for!
Creating a second home for us,
You became not only a teacher but a guide, an inspiration and a friend we could trust.
Through my tears you made me smile,
One glance at your face and I knew that all would be fine!
You held our hand on that very first day and then never let go come what may!
Dear miss, today, this is all I want to say,
Thank you for being a constant support, a guiding light and our angel in disguise;
And for the abundant wisdom, experiences and smiles that you advertised!
To all my teachers I would like to say once more,
For this is never ever going to get old,
Namaste and thank you!
All my teachers throughout my school life have motivated, encouraged and pushed me to do my very best. This poem is a recollection of some of my best memories in school and is dedicated to all my INCREDIBLE, DEDICATED, SPIRITED and GLORIOUS teachers!
