Literary: Teacher

By Rev. Fr. Rafael Cabales, OAR

T- is for the-     Task of teaching, so noble and so great.

                        Talents to give; teacher has to create.

                        Timeless labor for everyone is given.

                        Treasure of values, the greatest in heaven.

E-is for the-      Efforts no less than often misunderstood.

                        Endeavors of teachers aiming only for good.

                        Entrusted to them, youth hope of tomorrow.

                        Everlasting knowledge, freedom from sorrow.

A-is for the-     Aspiration for their students so high.

                        Ablazed their hearts with care instead of a sigh.

                        Agents of knowledge, apostles to us all.

                        Angels of light to both the big and the small.

C-is for the-     Commitment, teachers have sincerely sworn.

                        Children to care, to build and treat as their own.

                        Conscience to guide them in daily performance.

                        Create confidence, keep learning in balance.

H- is for the-    Heart, head and hand, as teachers' tools in obe-                                     

                         dience and in command.

                        Haven for the poor, doubtful, and ignorant.

                        Help afforded to the needy and forsaken.

                        Harvest of success, abundant in the end.

E-is for the-      Enlightenment to students, teachers project.

                        Examples alive, making teaching concrete.

                        Efficient teachers render teaching excellence.

                        Edifying people wherever they went.

R-is for the-     Recognition to teachers ought be given.

                        Resourceful in their fields, reaching out to all men.

                        Rare vocation, teaching is of high regard.

                        Recompense eternal, divine source is God.

ALL: TEACHERS "Word full of sweetness, sound so tender,

                        Next to parents, you are to us dear,

                        Save us, please, from the brink of evil.

                        In ways and values, you are our MODEL!
