THANKING MY CLASS GIRLS ON THE DAY AFTER TEACHERS’ DAY(06.09.08)

My dear dear girls,

How can I ever express my thanks

For the heartwarming words

with which you greeted me…

How can I ever express my thanks

For the genuine affection

That you showered upon me….

All I can say is:

At a time when I was asking God,

With a sad longing in my heart,

Why, oh why did you have to take my daughter so far away?

He just smiled and sent me in exchange, not one but fifty eight!

May God bless each one of you with…

…the wisdom to learn from the book of life,

…the courage to uphold justice high,

…the energy to build a society new

and the love to light up the world around you.

Indira Kanagasabai.
