Teachers

By George P. Lumayag

A series of ticks on the phone,
Woohowoo... ready?... go...
Yaks, YIK, smile...
Look at the sky...
and dream...
a life of bits...
to transmit 
our codes
to code
the colors of life.

You click and 
download the files
for the child and 
for the nation's pride.

You are the guide of our child.

              You guide the child and
                     motivate him or her
                                   to engage,
                                   to explore,
                                   to explain,
                                to elaborate, 
                           and to evaluate
                       every competency
                      of the day's lesson.

                     You guide the child
            to become a better citizen
                                in the future.
