To Teachers

In this world of darkness, you are the light.
In a world of wrong, you are the right.
Baffled by the process of cold fusion,
You are the source to clear our confusion.
To the reason for our success-
To ensure all we know is fact, not guess,
To our life's coach-
Any problem, you've taught us how to approach.
To the wings of our flight-
To the will of our might-
The help we need to stand tall
The spirit that says you give your all-
With your help, like a nation, we will rise,
Letting our hopes and goals reach the skies.
To the appreciation we cannot express in words
or action-
A brighter future is your satisfaction.
So on this day,
We would like to say
Thank you.
Your teachings and knowledge will stay with us
through and through.
