(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.

Absolutely, a teacher is indeed a torch bearer. We are what we are, because of our teachers.
