"PROUD TO BE A TEACHER"

I work late night and my schedule is tight,

Sometimes I get filled to my core

but I never  wish to fight.

I am talented, I am genius and I have the caliber,

Yes I agree and appreciate that I am a teacher.

I am proud to be one, who is never tired,

Though sometimes I feel trapped but yet inspired.

Trapped because I am not allowed to be unique,

Still I believe I am worthy to be geek

I am always concerned what my students are up to

And what's the matter

Yes, I do agree and repeat I am a teacher.

Monthly PTM's I attend with zeal,

I am always ready to welcome parents

And of course their squeal.

I am friend of my students and I am their foe,

I know exactly how to make buns of the dough.

I know how to tame them to sensible creature,

Yes I agree and repeat that I am a teacher.

I support them in distress and in torments big or small,

What awards me, as a conclusion is their smile that's all.

Some of them respect me some absolutely not

But at the end of the day I take it as a naught.

My knowledge to some people is equal to cipher,

But I affirm, I agree and I deserve to be a teacher.

I feel elated when I see my pupils excel

Showing their knack hidden deep in their satchel.

Then I feel the energy I gave reached at the right place,

They attain their goals and I feel blessed with solace.

I don't long for perks, incentives and stature,

Ha... I agree, I feel proud to be a teacher.
