Teacher

This poem reflects the noble role they play in shaping minds, guiding hearts, and lighting the path toward a brighter future.

Teacher
by Marcelino Tagaca Jr.

You saw the spark no one else could see,
A tiny flame, trembling in me.
With patient hands and gentle light,
You taught my heart to dream in flight.

Your words were seeds on thirsty ground,
That bloomed in colors all around.
You painted hope in skies of gray,
And turned my fears to stars that stay.

Each lesson more than chalk and board,
It was a gift, a treasured word.
You shaped my steps, you held me near,
A guiding voice I’ll always hear.

So here I stand, my spirit free,
Because you dared believe in me.
No crown, no throne, yet in my eyes,
You are the hero I will prize.
