As the present turns to past

And the future turns to present

Giving so much to this world

With so little recognition

Every lesson that you teach

Is like a hidden gem 

So precious… 

Yet ignored by the other voices 

—

As the years of hard work build

And the seconds keep passing by 

I hope you know how much we appreciate you 

Even when the roads are narrowed

You pull strength from the gods

And come out stronger than before

You are loved

You are admired

You are valued 

You are what we need in this lonely world.
