Emergency Relief

Thank god for Teachers’ Day.
More band-aid moments to heal a hurt.

You’re not only a teacher
you’re a good friend to us all.
Thank you, my friends.

Your motivation and drive are the things that motivate me
to study and achieve.
I will remember to be
a good role model always.

When we don’t do our work
you don’t scold us.
You make us feel guilty
without making us hate English.
Emotional blackmail,
the teacher's ultimate weapon

Although you scolded me many times,
I don’t hold any anger against you.
I hope you will also not hold any anger against me.
Never would I do that.
Stay angry? I can't.
A softie, I am, inside.

Thank you for all your help and
the extra lessons you gave us
at Holland Village.
Oh it was really an excuse to
eat kfc
drink coffee
hang out with you guys.

And of these all, my favourite
Which moved me beyond tears.

Without you
I would still be lost in this world.
Ditto.
You give meaning to my life.
You all do.

With love, your teacher
