Teachers - My Mentor

A tribute to my teachers....

Many teachers entered my life
But like you no one I cherish
Many of them held my hand in worse
But you're the one responsible for me to fluorish...

My redemption in badminton
Was only possible because of you
I don't know why you paid so much heed on me
When I myself never thought I can too do....

I always felt of playing for fun
But you taught me how to 'win'
If you were not be there to guide me
I would be just like an aeroplane without a fin..

Your teachings,lessons and diligence
Can't be paid through any appreciating word
Statements like 'Thank You' and kind-hearted quotes
Are just felt cheap and kind of absurd..

I wish I could do wonders through that sport
So that somewhere you would have felt proud
But Sir, I won't forget you and your hard-work on me
Till the day my face is completely covered with a shroud....

On this precious and auspicious occasion
I and every 'true student of a teacher' just pray..
May God give you an eternal age and glory
So that even my grand grandson can say you 'HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY'

I had a great English teacher, who studied at Oxford and was a novelist and playwright. I owe a lot to him.

These lines caught my attention. I'm reminded of "You taught me how to live and not simply exist." Good point there. :x
