To My Teacher Poem by Arani DattaGupta

You have been working day and night
and have been tired for quite awhile.
All this just to make us shine bright
and ready for the world outside.

You have seen us rise and fall,
have seen all our strengths and flaws
yet you've been with us through it all,
through all our breaths and laughs.

We admire your dedication
especially with children like us
so here is a token of our appreciation
for not letting the iron to rust.
