Soft spoken and gentle
We have never heard
Your raised voice
Though there were countless
Times to do so.
Humble and polite
You always requested
When something wanted to be done.
Never the 'Bossy Type'
Though you always were the Boss.
You never sneaked into the classrooms
To see what we were doing,
Never embarrassed us
By openly criticizing.
Kept your faith on us,
Believing, that we would work hard
To the betterment of children-
Our wards.
Now that you are leaving,
We have begun to realize
The immense void
You are creating
With your absence.
But it is something inevitable,
As preached by Lord Buddha,
It's a pity to leave
One's loved ones.
After carrying the heavy burden
Of a school
It is only fair to say
That one needs a rest
If to remain sane.
Be happy! Thinking
That you have done
Your duty to the school
And pupils.
May God keep you happy
Until your last days.
