Many a book have sung praises of you,
Many tales take us through-
How people have changed with your helping hand.
Just one of your kind,
Whose encouragement shapes our mind,
Has proved to have worked wonders.
Your efforts may go unnoticed,
But the outcomes can hardly be missed,
Especially when young minds want to follow in your footsteps.
You come in different forms-
A parent’s wise words during qualms,
Or even a little child teaching life’s joys.
There is much to learn, from each one,
Who steps into our lives.
But those who guide, without any gain in their minds,
Are the best of teachers.
