KIRAN KARMA YOGYA
This evening as the temple bells ring and voices raise to sing praises.
I take a dip in the mighty ocean of promises, possibilities and potential.
Every year, year after year like a floating feast Kiran foundation,
calls this day to assemble and gather
those who make their 24 hours lighter than a feather.
Teachers, I love to call my clan geese
who fly with the moon on their wings.
Teachers are learners who grow up with time,
as time for them is the best teacher.
She unfolds and upholds the dignity of education.
Braces the challenges of the lap top.
Their Excel sheets are at times great feats..
After all the computer arrived much later than many senior teachers.
But we give you our WORD that Ai, Chat Gpt shall not deprive us and neither our
children of the genius of a human.
We are the storms that rise in the classroom to wipe away dead habits of drudgery,
We are the calm to a child who in anxiety looks up at us.
We are not Mothers to cajole and coax.
We are energy hubs to receive from the young and give away the last bit we contain.
We teachers build the bridge and incite young learners to walk and connect,
Then we melt away until a foundation like Kiran foundation invites us to an evening of felicitations..
