The Legacy of a Candle

Inspired to share my knowledge,
Dedicated to teach with courage,
I gave my service with all my heart,
In my students life, I am one of an important part.

Three decades of teaching kids,
That's my riches, my lifetime achievements,
I maybe a candle that is running out,
But the impact, straight to the heart.

Proud to be the shaper of young minds, 
When the time comes that I may not in this world, 
Please remember me with glad,
As once  brought a flicker of light on your path,
