You taught us to read and write
But you also taught us to think and express
That makes all the difference now
It helps me stay myself
In a world where many try to be someone else.
You showed us how to count numbers
But you also showed us what truly counts
That makes all the difference now
It helps me walk steady
In a world full of noise and distraction.
You urged us to ask “why”
But you also dared us to ask “why not”
That makes all the difference now
It keeps me alive to change
In a world that never stands still.
You trained us to do things right
But you also taught us to do the right thing
That makes all the difference now
It helps me stand tall
In a world quick to please the powerful.
You guided us to follow the path
But you also gave us courage to create our own
That makes all the difference now
It lets me carry hope
In a world often lost in shadow.

Thank you, my dear teacher
You may not hear it often
But a part of you lives in me—
In the words I choose,
In the battles I fight,
In the peaks I climb,
In the silences I keep,
In the world I shape, everyday.
That is your true legacy.
Happy Teachers Day🙏
