Teacher's Day

Teacher

You have put in me

The thirst for knowledge

Teacher

You have birthed in me

The curiosity to learn

Teacher

You have instilled in me

The drive to advance

Teacher

You have taught me

The courage to dream

But above all

Teacher

You have given me

The will to succeed

Teacher

You were with me

Every step of the way

As I learnt to be

The person I am today

Teacher

You held my hand

Led me through

Your sacrifices I understand

So I thank you

Happy Teacher's Day.

Lol this is my first commission. I shall not reveal who requested for this poem.

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.

A time to be born and a time to die.

A time to plant and a time to harvest.

A time to kill and a time to heal.

A time to tear down and a time to rebuild.

A time to cry and a time to laugh.

A time to grieve and a time to dance.

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.

At ime to embrace and a time to turn away.

A time to search and a time to lose.

A time to keep and a time to throw away.

A time to tear and a time to mend.

A time to be quiet and a time to speak up.

A time to love and a time to hate.

A time for war and a time for peace.
