A Tribute for a Teacher...

Tears are falling, your heart is sore,
It is true the person is no more,
Gently carried to the other shore,
But a part of you someone forcibly tore.

Hush! Wipe your tears and look above,
There, do you see the little white dove?
Or the sunrise hue bright enough,
Little things for you shall reflect his love!

No one said he was perfect,
We, creatures have our defects,
Both his goodness, flaws took effect,
It's the balance that made him great!

A Mentor, teacher, friend to many,
Kept you strong through your journey,
At times, he was not so sunny
But as his students we were lucky!

Memorials, structures, someday they fall,
But in hearts and minds he'll stand tall,
With each day, brighter in the memories of all,
He's alive in the memories of all!

Author's Note

Three teachers of mine had passed way suddenly last year and this year...so this is a very humble tribute in their memories!
