Happy World Teachers Day

My colleagues, with you I share
My happiness of the day.
Oh, yes, world teachers day
On which pour on them rays
Of recognitions and thanks
For their services rare
To the world far and near

You have achieved your aims,
Your purposes of being teachers,
Guides sole of the world entire
With your powerful torch light,
That sweeps away the darkness,
That paves ways for the happiness
For the born and unborn children.

The ancestry shall not forget your service.
The posterity shall long for your light rich
In guide and counselling.
The time shall exonerate you.
The white chalk shall prove
Your innocence and honesty.
Your clients one day shall grace you.

Long live, the teacher!
Long live, the world entire!
Long live, the supporter!
Happy world teachers day!

A. I. Muye.
