The Power of a Teacher

N Deepalakshmi

A gentle voice of a teacher

Makes the children listen properly.

It eases their little minds

And makes them feel that their teacher is kind.

The thought of liberty in a classroom

Makes the little ones feel safe and secure.

They begin to see their teacher as easy-going,

Where learning takes place

In a great manner.

Asking questions is a special way of learning,

Which paves the way for opening

The world of knowledge

That is hidden

In their little minds like a dark room.

A true teacher can light up their darkness

By opening their hearts and minds,

Giving them the confidence

To ask questions freely in the classroom

And build a strong society based on justice.
