The Teacher and the Student Remember that Magic Moment |
Do you remember
That magic moment
When a teacher
Touched your heart and mind
And opened
The doors of knowledge
And a light began to shine
Do you remember
The students sparkle
When in your heart
You knew that magically
In that moment
Your teaching had gotten through
The teacher
And the student
From the dawn of history
Have paved the way
To knowledge
For all humanity
A most noble
Profession
Of science and art.
Great teachers
Weave their knowledge
With mind and heart.
So thank you
Noble teacher
For the joy
I have today
Your gift of knowledge
Is appreciated
More than words
Can say
For I cherish
That magic moment
When you touched
My heart and mind
And I hope that
You remember
When my light began to shine
I do remember:
My memory
Holds the stories
Of many a shining face
And the success
That knowledge
Brought them
As they entered
Life's great race.
Stories of families
Stories of success
Not just in dollars
But in accomplishing
One's best
So it is I who
Thank you
You made my dream
Come true
For when you received
The light of knowledge
I received
It too.
