First impression is the best
But he proved me wrong, my trust
By being different, still a good teacher
Never roamed behind us like a preacher
Fills my eyes with few tears
As I give my ears when he is sad and cares
And he sends deep in me shivers
When he is angry and brings in my fears
Still he tries his best to put me in front
Although we never succeed, he didn't grit
Waiting, giving us our needed space
Putting us equally with the race
Also makes me admire his knowledge
Which through his words clearly acknowledges
Am sure greater heights are awaiting
To celebrate his humble lovely teaching
He is my teacher whom I adore
But fears put me back far from his doors
Doors of wisdom that is open to all
Spread even if no inner voice gives a call.
On the height of my self-doubt, given to me by one of my students unexpectedly on the Teacher's Day of 2015.

ReplyDeleteetched in my memory
Great to know a person like you .and thank you for being you
Self-doubts are often rays... from inner core... showing some daub to be erased or designs outdated... Just like a silly incertitude makes you redefine the whole concept in mathematics...Joe, giving space and being different is different from letting the threads of the kites fall from the hands...Always have a firm but soft hold on the hearts... Who knows that, in doing so... you are not saving the least and the last...
