To Be A Filipino Teacher

The truth is, it's not easy to teach a foreign language.

TO BE A FILIPINO TEACHER

Hated subject by the majority
Desired to be eradicated by many
Students and parents find it so scary
To be a Filipino teacher is not that easy
Sometimes I regret the day
Why I took it passionately
Had I known the end of this journey
I should have taken the other way

But a still small voice had spoken to me
That's the place where I want you to be
Don't you dare to give up and flee
Open your eyes and let it see
Instead of listening to the bee
Clean your ears and hear the glee
There are wonders underneath the tree
Dig it up and you will see

To see is to find yourself sleeping
It is then that you will start dreaming
To hear is to experience deafening
It is then that you will hear nothing
But the beauty of everything
The fun of those who are stuttering
The excitement of those who are trying
It challenged you to keep thinking

Think and put it into action
Think of a doable solution
Keep everyone into motion
Make it a place of creation
Stay at the middle for moderation
Stop being the center of attraction
Stir their wildest imagination
Appreciate each presentation

Laugh with them if you must
But don't betray their trust
Respect their feelings when hurt
Don't belittle the pain in their heart
When there's a need to correct
Not in hate nor with a fist
You can be angry but sin not
So take a deep breath when you're hot

So let's take it easy
Let's not take it personally
Enjoy the game while we can play
Until now we don't know the perfect way
But what's important is we choose to stay
Not enduringly but joyfully
We may never change people's mentality
But it's okay if we do it for God's glory
