What is a teacher?

Is it someone who gives wings
To those who are eager to fly?
Or is it someone who helps us
To write our own story?

Is it someone who understands
the fears of being a student?
Or maybe the wave of kindness
that washes into the classroom?

Is it to push and challenge
a student to the next level?
Or perhaps the positivity
that is an on-going smile?

A teacher can help so much
I never knew that, I doubted, but now I see
They opened my eyes and showed me

Maybe this is too much, but then again
a teacher will always be a teacher to me

But most importantly: what is a teacher to you?
