I love my Profession

Endless giver, Father and mother of multitude Rendered talkative By wisdom and knowledge Detribalized by The makeup of their classrooms… Moulding characters, Pushing talents, Kneading personalities and Adding knowledge. By Nje mjika symphorosa N. A.

The character builders, In all human race, From infancy Till requiem mass. Teachers, To some perfidious To other collusive Posterity will be their judge In their deportment of longevity They were denied their Fundamental right Guerdon in high heaven they say They need their per diem Here on earth As they can only eat Their recoil the therapy here on earth.

I LOVE my profession………………… do you LOVE yours ?
