A Tribute To My Readers

A writer is incomplete without the readers, so this is a short tribute to you all....

My dear readers,
I'm grateful to you all,
for being here...

Each time i write a poem,
i earnestly wait,
wait for your reviews,
because, they tell me the depth,
to which my poems are true..!

I never thought,
that I'd write,
but there's a story
a story, behind it,
full of insight,
that makes one smile.
which I'd like
to share with y'all
tonight...

When I was a kid
of twelfth grade,
it was the day, i think,
third or fourth of May,
I remember the day,
I remember the date,
it was the Moral Science
class on 5th of May,
My teacher told us
to write something,
on the topic, `When I'll bid Adieu`
While others wrote
one or two lines,
I was there
with four lines..!
she checked everyone's writing,
by her keen mind,
and intense understanding..
And when she came to me,
and read those four lines,
the situation, i feel was truly divine!

I  know not
what she saw in
those lines,
she came to me,
and urged me,
to complete that poem
By May nine...
the next day, i did it,
and later,
it got published in our
first school magazine,
for the first time..!

Everyone who read,
appreciated it a lot,
and encouraged me
to continue this
great work of mine,
In the coming time.

but all that happened,
was because of Her
my lovely teacher
that time,
who fell in love
with those four lines!

yes, my dear readers,
I'd really love to tell,
that,
if i write well today,
its entire credit goes to her.!!

Then i came here,
and wrote more poems,
and the result i think,
y'all have in front of you!


My dear readers,
i really cherish your presence,
in reading and reviewing my writings,
and i cordially thank you, and wish,
that, in future, you will be even
more supporting.


if i am a poem, you are my words.!
if i am a book, you are the pages.!
So, i request you, to always be
with me,
in this race of chaste,
as a book is empty, without pages,
and a poem, useless, without
words and phrases..!!

How well this highlights the profound impact of teachers - and of others that give us encouragement and support our personal and skills development. I hope your teacher realizes how much it meant to you... and we can all remind ourselves of the importance of nurturing self-worth

The stimulus that you gained from your teacher , or parents can be a guiding factor for the rest of your life. Encouragement can take two forms. Praise is pleasant , but even harsh criticism can be a driving force to make you prove that you can defeat it. As we grow older we gradually incorporate these lessons into our own personalities. That's when we learn to appreciate them.......and I'm still learning! :-)

There comes a time in all our lives
When we must take a look
At what we're leaving in our wake
And what it really took

to leave the world a better place
for having seen our tread.
And know that we've not left disgrace
or something else to dread.

Life must be a two-way sword.
submitting we are lost.
Ignore assumptions of the word.
With empathy the cost.

We only hope that we can match,
your teacher's lagacy

[Saumya]

Thankyou so much for your thoughtful review, dear Norbanus😊 it is indeed a dull life, which doesn't let us brush up our talents, and make us an 'exemplary sword' among the crowd

[Tomás Ó C..]
