It's not fully accredited for all and to the extent a teacher does
For a child, all that will be and for an adult, all ever was
It should no longer be ignored that a teacher shapes a life
The scope within the duty far extends degrees of rife
They are literary prophets that instill a code of ethics
And they equally accept both the 'norm' and the eccentrics
Despite common theories, there is no teacher's pet;
For, judgment not they pass, but it's the willing that they let
They earn and deserve much respect; yet, they do not demand it
What morally they teach, imperfect homes steal like a bandit
No, they are not supreme authority of how it's supposed to be,
but they try damn hard to teach our children for you and me
A towering tribute to teachers. Teaching indeed is one of the most vital and honorable of profession. Wonderfully worded work Kim. Well done!
