Teacher Poem by Apuna Rato

Teacher, whatever gift you have,
Teach the child and build an empire;
A dynamic empire bounded by
The seas of wisdom,
An empire with forts of courage,
An empire guided by the principle
Of understanding and love,
And an empire with responsible subjects.

Teacher, run not to cover a syllabus
Rather labour for wholestic growth
For the child is not for book.
Scrutinize, analyze and recognize
To draw out the best in child.
