The Best Teachers I Could Have Hope For

Happy Teachers’ Day!

For all your patience every day,

For all the anger you have managed to push away,

For tolerating our ridiculousness every day,

For having to bear us for years every day.

Calling you only our teacher would be an understatement.

You make us laugh with your silly jokes,

You make us happy with your smile,

Your occasional sadness saddens us!

You are a friend to us, a sister, a mother to a few and a teacher to all.

You come to class every day with a smile,

You forgive us for every mischief,

You teach us not only the books but also important life lessons.

We are proud to call you our teacher,

For you always go the extra mile for us.

We are grateful to have you in our life,

For you always love a little more, no matter how stupid we are.

I thank you today, for not only being an amazing teacher

but also, for being a funny and loving friend to us.

I thank you today, for not only loving us as we are but also for getting past it all and teaching us to do better.
