A little you went to the school

Away from home for the first time

You cried your heart out wanting to run away,

She welcomed you with a smile on her face

She took your tiny hand in hers and took you the unfamiliar place

That place was the school and she was your teacher

— — —

She sang ABCD with you she danced with you everyday

You smiled at her and that made her day

She taught you to read and write

She knew how to handle you when you cry

Like a mother, she was patient

Like a father, she was strong

Like a friend, she was sweet

She was no one but your teacher

— — —

She wanted you to fly high

She wanted you to be a good human being

She gave you wings but kept you on ground

Till the time you can handle yourself well

She knew it all

She was no one but your teacher

— — —

She became your third parent along with mom and dad

She was as close to you as your friend

You too, loved her with a lot of respect

Remember you told your parents, “My teacher has asked me to brush teeth twice a day!”

For you, her word was ultimate

For you, she was the role model

For you, she was more than a parent

She was no one but your teacher

— — —

This day of the year is so strange

Makes me remember all of her

A day is not enough to celebrate her

She lies in my heart all the time

She is the reason what I am today

She made me strong, she made me soft

She taught me to think, she taught me to solve

Her teachings of morals and ethics won’t leave me for a moment

She is no one but My Teacher!

Happy Teacher’s Day to all those who are shaping the next generation! 😃

Today, 5th September is celebrated as Teacher’s Day in India to celebrate teacher’s contribution to the country in the memory of Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, 2nd President of India who was a teacher himself. This day was his birthday and it is celebrated since 1962. On this day, regular activities are replaced with celebrations where students of senior classes become teachers for all other classes and teach them regular subjects. Other activities include thanks giving and remembrance of teachers.
