Teachers put their heart into making you smart,
They plant the first seed and provide the head start. 🌱
Stand for the teacher, give honor its due,
For the light of the world is reflected in you. 🕯️
Like a messenger sent with a truth to unfold,
They turn the raw iron to shimmering gold. ✨
Can any task be more noble or hold more degree,
Than building the spirit and the mind that is free? 🧠🔓
From the darkness of doubt to the brilliance of day,
They guide every footstep and clear out the way.☀️
With patience of prophets and hearts meant to serve,
They offer the wisdom that students deserve. 📜
To build a great nation, to reach for the sky,
It starts with the teacher and a "never say die." 🚀
For the greatest of heroes, the bold and the true,
Were once just a student in a desk, facing you. 🎓
So here’s to the guides of the pens and the scrolls,
The keepers of hope and the builders of souls. ✍️❤️
With a heart full of passion and lessons to impart,
Teachers put their heart into making you smart. 🍎📚

So true it is, this poem speaks to an undervalued profession. I would have to say that a couple of teachers made all the difference in my life others pulled me back and almost destroyed me. I have a sister that teaches and I have taught myself and there is nothing more gratifying than seeing the difference made in a life by what you teach. But beware for the power of teaching is a two edged sword and cuts both ways, with the ability to destroy as well as build. A lovely write so well expressed. In fact I intend to post a poem tomorrow that hints at student teacher interaction
Thank you for these beautiful words. You're right—it is a massive responsibility. I can't wait to read your poem tomorrow!
