"Happy Teachers' Day.
On the Fifth of September.
Listen!
Your students are not toys
For your mind,to play with.
You are not going to make them;
They are self-made,with gadgets.
You are not going to lead them,
They have their own life's dreams,
To lead them from their mind stations.
'Then what for,I am put here?'
You may ask me aggressively,
With your conventional poking nose,
Strutting from within your bossy mask.
Listen!
You are here seeking an identity tag,
For being able to float your ideas
On their mind streams,to flow with them,
Meeting the exploding breakthroughs.
Celebrate the core of teaching,
As a torch bearing,trouble shooter
Of bumps and stumbling blocks,
Against the aborption of ground realities.
The joy of teaching is being a part of
The jamboree gush,with all its push!
Wishing you and all your fraternity,
Teaming up years,with teeming joy
Yours truly,
The Teacher in you.

ReplyDeleteA very happy Teachers Day!
(By the way, why is it not 'torch bearer'?) -

DeleteI have not used the term torch bearer because my focus was more on trouble shooting and so I thought of using torch bearing as a participle for the phrase trouble shooter.The teacher's job is to trouble shoot issues by highlighting their intricacies & subtleties.
