1.
A pride for every teacher
Is to see her students excel.
A joy for every teacher
Is to have them recognise her.
A pleasure for every teacher
Is to hear her students succeed.
A fulfillment for every teacher
Is when her students are valued citizens. 
Nothing is more satisfying,
Than this to a teacher's soul.

When you see a warm smile,
When you hear comforting words,
When you see understanding,
When they show you care,
When they share their thoughts,
You know you are valued much,
You realise you are more than a teacher to them,
You become a part of their lives.
The essence of a good teacher.

4.
The best award a teacher can get,
Is not from any association.
The best award a teacher can get,
Is not from any institution.
The best award a teacher can get,
Is not from any individual.
The best award a teacher can get,
Is from students- unbiased and genuine.

5.
Learn and keep learning,
Seek and keep seeking,
Gather and keep gathering,
Listen and keep listening,
In the sojourn of your life.
You will notice your life.
Being positive and productive
Than being negative and unproductive.

6.
You enter the classroom,
To see smiling faces greet you.
You enter the classroom,
To hear chirpy voices welcome you.
You enter the classroom,
To get involved in healthy talks.
You enter the classroom,
To feel the joy of inquisitive minds,
Waiting to gather as much from you.
And you return a happy, fulfilled soul.
