Teacher, the flame in the darkness

You look so free

You worry for us

You fear, you’re scared

You try to keep us from trouble

You try to stay calm

But we just don’t let you

We play pranks

We don’t listen

We end up keeping you stressed

You don’t know what to do

But you still love us

We have no idea

What you do for us

You mediate for us

Whatever mistake we make

When we cry

You feel it’s your mistake

When we laugh

You laugh with us

We make mistakes

You correct us

You make mistakes

But you don’t mind

When we correct you

‘Cause you know we learn through mistakes

Even mistakes others make

You try not to make mistakes

But love it when we correct you

‘Cause we learn to teach and correct others

You know you don’t know everything

But you’re happy to learn

To teach us in turn

You don’t care

What others say about us

Because you know us

We are your children

You feel sad when we leave

When we forget you

But you never forget us

But when we look back

We have changed

We won’t remember who changed us

As our memories fade away

We are thankful to you

And you are proud of what

We have achieved

‘Cause you’ve raised us

And we are the best fruits of your tree
