Spark

Cannot be died as a teacher 
It is not for the fact that a teacher does not die 
Yet he should not die before he gets recognition
From the Hall of fame 
Or from the office of certification
This not my ambition 
Nor is it the aspiration of that teacher who teaches English 
In a remote village, among the unprivileged 
It is the desire of all whoever becomes a teacher 
Let’s kindle the fire in every heart 
Let’s raise the flame of the lamp of every mind 
To see us the road 
To walk us the path 
The path that has been never seen or trodden 
Want they not gold 
Nor do they want a plate full of diamond 
They just pet a little longing 
to make you a son of man 
To make this world a better living place for you, me and all 
Let them not to drive out the yearn 
Let them not to put out the spark 
Rather let’s celebrate their crave not for them but for us !
