(S)HE is...

More than an habitual holder of chalks

More than an intriguing being telling jokes

More than a bespectacled figure dictating notes

More than a distributor of knowledge cards

More than an incubator of academic birds

More than a generator of mental vibration

More than a propellor of analphabet liberation

More than a foreteller of tomorrow's professions

More than a red pen in making corrections

More than a regular paycheque reciever

More than a tedious, honest worker

More than cement in the building of character

More than the words of man can explain

More than the heads of sages can contain

More than what genious minds can paint

More than entitled to the title 'Saint'

(S)HE is a TEACHER : Gods hand touching the universe!

*Dedicated to my father and all the teachers in the world.
