Teachers play an important part in our lives. They open doors to different worlds for us. They help to shape our critical thinking process. Great teachers ignite the fire to find out more about the world within and outside of us. Some of my best educators have been my main Diamond Cutters. This poem is dedicated to my Educational Diamond Cutters:
You Taught Me
Love of words
Wonderful words
You taught me
Descriptive words
When strung together
Brought me
To places sublime
Through space and time
Love of mathematical
And scientific formulas
You fed me
With algebraic
And chemical formulas
You led me
To masters of old
Through equations unfold
Crave of histories
Global stories
You educated me
Of war and peace
My knowledge increased
You cultivated me
About people, places
Eras and races
Share of knowledge,
Nurturing knowledge
You molded me
Unlocking my illiterate mind
From thoughts that bind
You stimulated me
To think and explore
Worlds beyond my door
