I Carry the Light Even though they mostly make Fun of Me by their Uncharitable Jokes •••
But I am a Teacher •••
I don't Qualify for a Bungalow or a Villa nor Earn enough to buy an Expensive House or a Car like Corrupt Officers and Corrupt Politicians.
But Yes, I am a Teacher •••
Some Think or even Say that I have too many Holidays. They never know that I Spend those Holidays either correcting Papers or Planning what and how I am going to Teach when I go back to Blackboard or Whiteboard ...
Because I am a Teacher •••
Sometimes I get Confused and even get Stressed by the Ever-changing Policies over what and how I have to Teach ...
Despite All That, I am a Teacher and I Love to Teach and I am Teaching •••
On Pay-days I don't Laugh as Corrupt Officers and Others do, But by the Next day I Love to come with a Smile to those that I Teach ...
Because I am a Teacher ••
The main Source of My Satisfaction is when I see them Grow. I See them Succeed. I See them having all those Assets. I See them Bravely Face the World and its Challenges. And I Say yes I have Taught in Spite of Living in a World Opened by Google...
Because I am a Teacher ••• Yes I am a Teacher •••
It doesn't Matter how they Look at Me, It doesn't Matter how much more they Earn than I Do.
It Doesn't Matter that they Drive while I Walk because All what they have is through Me, A Teacher ...
Whether they Acknowledge Me or Not ... I am a Teacher ....
[You may forward. this poem to all; and make each Teacher, Lecturer or Professor proud of their care.
