Hope of the Country
Dr. Rizal, the famous hero once said
“The youth is the hope of the country”
And that youth is none other than you and me
Them and us
A year ago, something unexpected happened
This pandemic has threatened
Every single individual
It affects our life politically, economically
And most of all, educationally
Yes, nowadays, being a student is too heavy
But do we know that being a teacher is not also that easy?
The sufferings that the students are experiencing right now
Are the same sufferings that the teachers endure just to fulfill their vow
Of doing their best
So the student won’t make themselves feel less
And uneducated
The teachers were still dedicated
Pressured and drained, but still motivated
Despite of the pandemic that interrupted
Their goal to make their students educated
Passionate and loving
Considerate, and understanding
Smart and forgiving
Patient and caring
That is who you are
Teachers, we, your students have come this far
Because of you
Because your love is true
Your love for your students
Your love for your family
Your love for your duty
And your love for this country
Assuredly, you deserve gratitude and respect
Sooner or later you’ll see the effect
Of what you have done for the youth
You are part of their success and that’s the truth
Rizal didn’t make a mistake on what he said
Teachers are the modern hero who laid
Their life, knowledge, and passion
To train and educate this generation
Yes the youths are the hope of this country
And molding them is the honorable teacher’s duty
