Gratitude to my teachers on Gurupurnima

How do I thank you

My parents gave me birth

You taught me to understand my birthright

My parents only paid for my education

You made me with education and dedication 

You were next after my parents in making me

Making the best part of me.....me

You did not just educate me

You also played a part in me

Whatever I have achieved in life today 

There is your part that played in me everyday 

Not realising your contribution consciously

And on realising on occasions I fall short gratefully 

A ode to all my teachers which included Priests and brothers and faculty staff in educational institutes I have been educated in. Especially Don Bosco's Matunga
