A teacher plays an important role in everyone. Mother is the first teacher for a new born and as the baby grows, once it starts attending school. It is the teachers who mould and provide a meaning to our life. They actually put life in us by providing knowledge and define a purpose and meaning for our lives.
Life is also a teacher as it teaches some quite easy and lots of tough lessons and encourage us to overcome challenges and realize our goals eventually. Today it is time to relish our experiences and pay our respect to the teachers who actually are the true movers and shakers of this world.

Teachers Day Poems
This teachers day 2012, if you are considering to dedicate poems to teachers, check out the collection of poems from Gurudev-Rabindranath Tagore. However here is the best one from a Joanna Fuchs.
A Teacher for All Seasons
A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.
A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.
A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.
A teacher is like Winter,
While it’s snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.
Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You’re a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!
–By Joanna Fuchs
