Teacher is a soldier with a pen and an eternal guide <br />Lighting wisdom to mind decayed and white, <br />Floating tirelessly till dark with no pride, <br />Without fear and favor telling tales bright. <br /> <br />To clean the dirt river flows and air floats, <br />To vibrate heart and mind he gloats. <br />‘Tween goddess Sarswati and man he is linking milk, <br />Giving life to the world with deepest think. <br /> <br />As blessed banyan with roots, side by side, <br />Withstand winter, storm, wind and tide, <br />Beauty he admires and goodness wide, <br />Word and language such as teacher ride, <br />He will turn dust to gold, if his ways not hide, <br />And rake a soul with favorite manifold glide. <br /> <br /> <br />FROM: <br />DR.
