Teaching is the most influential job in the world. Teachers are known to shape the minds of the youth and imparts good value in children in the quest of equipping them into becoming not only responsible but also understanding, open-minded citizens. So, almost every country celebrates Teacher’s Day.

It may come as a surprise that this special day falls on different days throughout the world.

But even though the date varies from country to country, the main purpose of celebrating this day remains the same, which is to commemorate and honor teachers for their hard work and continuous dedication towards shaping the future generations.

So let the following poem by Loving Lines and More be a tribute to teachers everywhere.

Teacher

It takes a special person

To teach a child in class.

To just keep his attention

In a world that moves so fast.

To show a child he is unique,

With talents deep inside.

To help build confidence,

So he can beam with pride.

To show a little patience

For a child who’s lost his ways.

To a child who feels abandoned,

Who has seen better days.

To inspire and to motivate,

So a child can learn and grow.

To go into this big wide world

That has its highs and lows.

You are a special person

You always give your best;

And for every child who has your class,

Their life is truly blessed.

Happy Teacher’s Day from Doc2Us.
