A Teacher Poem by Wini Jose

What a teacher should be?
Someone who is kind to me.
Who considers all the children the same.
No matter whether blind or lame.
Who accepts ones mistakes and is honest,
Who considers each child as the best.
Who stands by your side when you cry,
Kind enough to ask, ‘oh, dear why? '
Who considers money as useless,
Being partial as senseless.
Who laughs along when you are happy,
Whose love is deeper than the sea.
Who is a shoulder for you to cry,
A person to whom you never want to say goodbye,
What a teacher should be?
A person who opens the lock of my dreams with the correct key,
That's what a teacher should be.
