A student to me is more than a name,
A reason to show up, to play the game.
A reason to dress, to stand up tall,
To learn, to grow—to give my all.
A reason to read, to stay up to date,
To be my best, to challenge fate.
A reason to pause before doing wrong,
For their eyes watch, both sharp and strong.
My dear student, I must confide,
I strayed from what was once my guide.
Not what my elders had hoped I’d be,
Nor what the books had planned for me.
But when I stood before your eyes,
I felt the truth, I realised—
You shaped the path I couldn’t see,
And made me what you wished for me.
Your teacher, your guide, your mentor true,
Yet deep inside, I know this too—
As much as I teach and light your way,
You teach me more every day.
