True inspiration

Author: Ayesha Irfan

You matter.

Yes, you matter.

Money’s not your motivation,

Your students are your dedication,

To you, each student is unique and special,

A beautiful little gem.

Some days are just demanding & frustration takes its course.

Then you see those little faces,

Their inspiration is your force.

Dear teacher,

You set me free,

When the world bogged me down.

You put a smile on my face.

When all I wanted to do is frown.

It is because I had a teacher like you.

My future with your guidance and advice,

Was saved from a terrible aftermath.

At last,

“There’s a special pride in teachers and love for what you do.”
