The teacher

   (from Old Poems)
*
For we could know & face the truth,
O, teacher, gave you that insight.

You taught not only read &write,
But how to work at book of life.

Lost child on sea shore,you got hold ,
And made worth while human life.

Whenever in fix I think of you,
Your words always provide some clue,

As guide, you shade me all my way,
And how to separate wrong &and right.

Unbound the chains & opened door ,
To find the treasure of world lore ,

Crops, ever more once you sowed the seeds,
I owe you wisdom love & light.

For we could know & face the truth,
O, teacher, gave you that insight.

-- Pratibha Saksena

  1. Absolutely, a teacher is indeed a torch bearer. We are what we are, because of our teachers.
    Thanks to everyone and everything in life which taught us a thing or the other.
