Teachers, the most trusted friend
For students’, whole life they spend
Children of various culture they blend
And makes all of us unite and stand
Soft words and empathy they lend
Through the wisdom they have penned
Guides with the life skills for us to fend
Delicate minds and tattered child they mend
Takes us through the learning an adventure that never ends
Show us the way, even when they are on the dead-end
Without the support of great teachers, none can wend
Even if we invest our best effort that we intend
The understanding of life they comprehend
The philosophy of science we apprehend
The horizon of our knowledge they expand
Clearing our ignorance so that we ascend
All the time for our success they attend
To have diligent teacher is a godsend
To show love and care is their trend
For hundreds of lives they amend
For all the time for us they spend
For all the supports they lend
In front of teachers, I stand
I here bow with my folded hand

Wonderful dedication to all teachers and educators! Thank you!
Thanks for acknowledging the great work the teachers do but are very rarely given their due. Hopefully the teachers will get more respect in our society than what they get at present.
