TEACHERS, LET US TAKE TIME

 

R. Mary Sadhu

 

Talking time, me, revolution or perversion?

Life is busy and I cannot stand the strain

Is life muddled up? Is Life an escape from struggle?

Let us reason: Let us answer:

 

Talk time beloved teacher, yours is a high calling,

The students look upon you for something

Do you frown and disappoint them? Speak off softly with them

My beloved teacher let your presence comfort and captivate them

 

Is love a forgotten virtue? Or does it make you vivacious?

Has the teacher forgotten to love, care and share?

Then, how to be worthy of the noble profession?

Student before self! Ah – it is terrible or possible­.

 

We are that we are, because we are teachers

We are the trainers of minds, builders of the nation

Let not the bright and blooming young faces lose lustre

Stretch your hand, lift up the fallen and cheer up the faint,

 

Remember the students are our treasure

Loco parent extend love, care and attention

Smile with tender smile, mete the strings of precious hearts,

For, chords that are broken will vibrate once more!
