A teacher with a heart is a gifted soul
Weaved together with threads of gold
A teacher touches lives of a great many
His reward is hearing a success testimony
A teacher with a heart goes into a class
Teaching beyond the lesson plans he has
Sharing his life’s experiences and lessons learned
Giving hope to live life’s best with wisdom gained
He listens intently to give a positive feedback
He keeps a keen eye on the learning steps they take.
Listens to unspoken words to fathom a heart’s needs
He earnestly cares about what and how he feeds
Like a father would, he is firm but kind
Gentle on the young impressionable minds
Mistakes are often made: he is always forgiving
Never minding their failures: he is always encouraging
He is someone a student would look up to
For his counsel, laced with love is wise and true
He often role-plays a parent but is more a friend
Modeling good values, mindful of the messages send
A teacher with a heart is one set apart
To touch lives with the love he imparts
Remembered by the touched years later
Thankful for lives turned for the better.
the teacher in rhyme and rhythm is very attractive....being a teacher myself enjoyed it very much...

I would like to translate this poem
A perfect portray of a teacher along with all of his qualities and all the things done by him for students while imparting education as also giving the requisite molding to the immature minds. Sir, I had penned Good Teacher after the visit of my Professor, while I was a student some 40+ years, who had flown 1000+ kms just to meet me and a couple of his collegues. I was not in touch with him for almost 40 years and we renewed communication due to his queries with my erst while friends. Regards.
