My English Teacher

A miracle that hath never taken place ere on earth; 
A present presented to the world out of God’s mirth.                                                                      
A gift even more precious than Jacinth or Jade;                                                                           
With sparkling gems of variant hues richly inlaid.                                                                               
The gift is in the form of a person;                                                                                                      
Whose knowledge is as immense as the ocean.
 
A person as beautiful as rainbow,
She is as eloquent as Cicero. 
As generous as a lord;
As great as God. 
Her bosom is as pure as a lily,
Her qualities are as imperishable as eternity.

As beauty is to seven wonders of the world;
Any word that she speaks, is to sweet curd.
She is so gentle a lady;
Always fresh like a daisy.
She believes that God is one;
Has taught us the meaning of a pun.

The explanation that gives and makes us write;
Makes our doubt as clear as daylight.
Besides teaching our lessons, she develops our personality;
Tries to infuse in us, every good quality.
She is the one who makes us thoughtful;
I pray to God that she be always joyful.
