A teacher is, perhaps, one of the most important person in a child's life. Parents give us a life and teachers teach us how to live. Parents give us the strength we need and a teacher empowers us. Teachers build our character and more often than not they never give up on us. This is a little something dedicated to my Teachers!
My Guiding Light
I opened my eyes to a whole new world,
Ready to take on everything I could,
Little did I realize that amidst the hundreds of others,
Scared and alone I stood...
Dad wasn't there to hold my hand,
Mum wasn't there to hug me warm,
Strangers around and no one known
But one face pretty and calm...
Encouraged me to take a courageous step,
She smiled the most assuring of the smiles,
She beaconed me and eased my shivers,
I knew that she would walk with me for miles...
She supported me when I faltered my step,
She held me when I sweat with fear,
She knew my deepest feelings and thoughts,
She gave me a voice that all would hear...
She taught me how to think and feel,
She gave my random thoughts a way,
She leaned down and picked me up,
She worded what I had to say...
Mom and dad are equals of the Lord,
But she is my Guiding light,
My teacher, my mentor, she's nearly my mom,
Her memories still blur my sight!
