The Teacher

(1) You are a lighter, I'm a light bulb without
Shine on you.
(2) Born to follow- I found a boat,
Gave you the baton.
(3) I found a book that was my father,
I can't read; You have taught this.
(4) Mother has taught me to walk,
Where to go- but don't know;
You have taught this.
(5) The roots of education is very bitter-
I know.
I'm afraid time you said- "Its fruits are sweet."
(6) - teacher
You gave me a stick.
You gave me a glow.
Gave you a new way.
Gave you a new adventure.
