    The Mind Shapers

    A tribute to all the potters
    Who shape the human mind
    To those who see each piece of clay
    And believe that it is one of a kind
    
    Their knowledge like deft fingers
    Shaping and moulding the clay
    Expertly spinning the wheel
    Fast at times, at times slowing play
    
    Carefully grinding and dusting
    Allowing the contours to appear
    Baking and glazing every single one
    To make them last many a year
    
    So here’s an expression of gratitude
    Towards all those wonderful artisans
    The teachers who have crafted us all
    Into becoming our best possible versions

    Thank You

    A chance encounter
    A wave of hand
    A familiar face
    A breaking smile
    
    Triggers a train of thought
    A walk down memory lane
    Vivid images of cherished times
    Of growing up and carefree lives
    
    Classroom pranks and innocent lies
    Stolen lunches and greedy bites
    Muddy shoes and loose hung ties
    Of friendships stronger than family ties
    
    
    The teachers who fanned our imagination
    With a word of praise and the occasional stick
    An encouraging smile for every puzzled look
    Of discovering a world beyond text books
    
    It all comes back each time I pass you by
    I find myself await another smile
    This perhaps is a good time to say this
    For its been brewing for a while
    
    
    Everything I've ever wanted or wanted to be
    For making me who I am or ever will be
    Thank you dear Alma Mater
    For being a part of me
