A Pledge To Teachers

A Pledge to Teachers 


When it was time for me 
To concentrate and learn 
Through your skill and ability 
To guide and to discern— 

For wisdom was your desire 
As teaching was your career 
But the fact that you inspire 
Is what I must revere 

Lovers of wisdom born by you 
Heirs to knowledge that we then become 
My words— indeed, are both faithful and true 
Within this poem, a—small anthem 

A small anthem to try and acknowledge 
A small—part of— what you do 
As I now utter a pledge 
To sincerely, thank you!
