“I am a Teacher”

John Paul B. Garde

Love is what I feel to these little children

They make me smile and carry out my burden
How hard it is to teach millions of them
But nothing would change me to leave and forget them

Patience I have runs like rivers that never end

Keeping myself more stronger every day and in every way
To climb the highest mountain bestowing these children
A bright future to be proud of and will never fade away

I hear sayings and murmurings around

Silver nor gold have none from this profession
Nothing hinders me to impart knowledge abound
Because I believe I could confer the best resolution

My heart overflows with joy seeing them laugh and have fun in learning
The time I have spent with them is worth remembering
These little ones are my inspiration
My shining jewels who bring delight throughout the day without hesitation
