A child is akin to clay, so soft and fine,
moldable and pliable, and divine in shape.
Whether for good or ill, they can be shaped with ease,
yet it is the gentle touch of a teacher that consistently
brings out their best.

Amidst the harsh and greedy world outside,
A teacher confidently guides them, a safe and peaceful
tide.
With unwavering kindness and care, they adeptly
shape and mold,
Assisting young minds to grow, and their futures to unfold
