For a Teacher

When I was down
You pulled me up
You made me soar
From what I was before

Motivation, a gift from you
Inspiration, my only tool
Today, I am the person that I am
Because of you

You gave me the fire
The passion to aspire
You guided me through the dark
When I thought that I had no luck

You brought out the best in me
You believed that I could succeed
You never gave up on me
Even when I did.

Words cannot express how I feel
Gifts cannot convey my thoughts so real.
What you have done for me,
I will never forget.
The lessons I learnt, I will never regret.

Today I want you to know
That you will always occupy
A special place in my heart
No matter where I am.
Your care, concern, help and advice are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
