A Guiding Light
A Guiding Light
You are the candles in the path we tread
Illuminating it with your loving glow
Sacrificing yourselves in selfless service
Yearning to see us learn and grow
You are the rungs of the ladder we climb
Enabling us to scale greater heights
Building our path to the very top
Mentoring us, our able guides
You are the shields that guard us all
Helping us face our darkest times
When we fall, you pick us up
Forgiving our faults, forgetting our crimes
You are the sculptors who mould our minds
Who create a man out of a child
You chisel a sculpture out of a boulder
Even if painful, it we may find
Truly, you are, our beloved teachers
A boon to mankind, a gift of God
Committing fully to a labor of love
Worthy of more, but we can only applaud
