Teachers
"You are the molders of their dreams.
The Gods who build across their young beliefs of right and wrong
You are the spark that sets aflame the poet's hand
or lights the flame of some great singer's song.
You are the God of the young, the very young
You are the guardian of a million dreams
Your every smile or frown can heal or pierce a heart.
Yours are a hundred lives a thousand lives
Yours the pride of loving them and the sorrow, too
Your patient work, your touch
Make you the Gods of hope who fill their souls with dreams
To make those dreams come true."
