We nurture brains, which develop and shape lives.
We work with passion, which builds a strong foundation.
We foster growth, which makes it worth.
We make learning joyful, which empowers learners to be successful.
We are lesson turners, which produces lifelong learners.
Glistening on a graceful pine,
The glow, the flame, so alive
Tells a story of a gentle vine,
Written by love who shall thrive.
Poured out on the believer
Is the wonder of God’s grace
Erasing the darkness of the deceiver,
Reminding the heart of love’s embrace.
Glorifying the One who stirs the soul
With a promise of everlasting love
Love that is meant to make us whole
Kindle a flame of faith from above
Blessing the heart who simply believes
With a faith that trusts, even in grief,
Flowing with assurance that relieves
Remember, He forgives – even the thief.
Never stop listening to His song,
There is a purpose you might not know
A purpose for life, assurance that you belong
With this man named Jesus, who we owe…
Our entire soul, our entire life
All the reason for existing
Flowing like love, without strife,
Love that is forever insisting….
We are the children of the Creator
Who sends for us, sooner or later,
Who reveals to us, One who is greater,
Jesus, who was betrayed by a traitor
Jesus, whose love is our educator!
Sharer of wisdom out of box
Builder of future on the rocks
Maker of paths of destiny
Loud voice of peace and harmony
Tamer of fate when it is wild
A heart that cares for every child
Outside their homes, he's like a ward
For their safety, he is a guard
He sways the rod when they are wrong
He lets them know it through his song
And so, their hearts will not go roam
His side can always be their home
He is a star, at times unseen
A bracing cast on silver screen
But in every flow of his spark
Young souls are pulled out of the dark
A poet plus poetry contest
1st place
Dad you were beside us,
You guided us in every manner and ways
I write this, from my heart
Since you thought us from your heart
You acted like a compass,
That activated the magnet's of curiosity
You moulded us to be perfect
You tool your hand, Opened our minds and touched our heart
You are an angel, who use your wands
To make our life easier,
You are a candle in our life's
Since you have enlightened us
With the knowledge
You forgave us, corrected our mistake,
Just like a Mather with love
You are the true hero in our lives
I thank you for your love, care, guidance, blessings
And all that you have done to us,
You erased our worries away
Sharpen us with knowledge,
Correct all our mistakes
So that we are perfect.
Thank you for guiding us in every way,
And in our heart, you will always stay.
The wife
The mama
The matriarchal educator
She knows the value of school for her children
She is their first teacher, is she not?
Poverty
Submission
Laboring under awful conditions
Being taken advantage of
Receiving whatever you can get
Goes away with education
The wife
The mama
The matriarchal educator
Wants her children to have the things
Others in the family have never had.
She wants them to have pride, but not be prideful.
She wants them to learn kindness, and have time to implement it.
She wants them to be generous, and have something to share.
She knows education is the way,
So she does whatever she can
To bring as much education
As possible to her
Most cherished
Possessions,
Her
Children.
I came across a thought
My mind it caught
Of the bygone that I lived
From which I was ripped
For the rest of my life
All I took was a glance
Of a tutor of chance
With whom I wish to hold hands
Over all these lumping lands
For the rest of my life
I ask her why a blue sky
She shoots back why
I can take no more of this emotion
Such of that of a fateful bitter potion
For the rest of my life
I take a glimpse of the monastery
To which I hold the pass of entry
At the bricks that were carved of enlightenment
And at the steady environment
For the rest of my life
Now I sit on her throne
Delighted to be her clone
If this were not the end
For her I would have sent
For the rest of my life
I was shiny new
I desired education
I wish then I knew
