In a room where minds ignite,

A beacon stands, a guiding light.

With wisdom's touch, and patience vast,

A teacher's role, unsurpassed.

In words they weave, a tapestry fine,

Crafting futures, one lesson at a time.

Their knowledge flows, a boundless stream,

Navigating through each student's dream.

With hearts aglow and eyes that see,

They nurture growth, with empathy.

In every challenge, they find a way,

To inspire minds, come what may.

They're mentors, friends, and so much more,

Opening windows, unlocking doors.

Their legacy, imprinted deep,

In hearts they touch, in dreams they keep.

Oh, teacher dear, with grace you shine,

Your impact echoes through all time.

In every student's tale, you're a key,

A beacon of hope, eternally.
