An Angel in the Classroom

Sreekumar K

A smile on her face, glitter in her eyes

There stands my teacher, wonderful and wise

She’s an angel sent by the Him above

Soft and pure, to teach us with love

 

She knows much more than we ever think

She’s is always alert and won’t ever blink

She’s a holy lamp, the Lord himself did light

To end the darkness and make the world bright

 

Patience, affection, compassion, wisdom

Are the ways she rules her own kingdom

Mother, father, god, all rolled into one,

She prepares us for battles to be won

 

Numbers, letters, rhyme and rhythm

She makes us see our maker in them

Maps, diagrams, graphs and sketches

Beyond them now our world stretches

 

Because of her, we became what we are

Thanks to her lessons, we’ll all go far

Dear teacher, we give you our faithful word

That with your help we’ll take this world forward
