My Best Teacher

You are the teacher of mine
Taught me about the coniferous tree pine
When the things got messed up in line
Consoled and said that everything will be fine

You loved and cared for me a lot
Helped me while I missed a shot
Taught me again while I was in a spot
Encouraged me in the talents I got

Impartial you are to all
Poured the true light that we call
Knowledge that help us from a fall
Taught me to break any wall

You taught what was lost
By today’s humanity what they cost
O teacher! I give you the highest post
Will love and respect you the most
