In the science lab, you were our guide,

With patience and care always by your side.

You made science fun, full of surprise,

Opening our eyes to wonder and wise.

Every class was lively, full of play,

Experiments and stories helped learning stay.

You made us curious, made us engage,

Science became exciting every way.

Because of you, I found my way

To love science more along the way.

Your lessons showed me what teaching could be,

And inspired the teacher I want to be.

Even now, though you’re not my guide,

Your words and actions still stay inside.

You planted a spark that shines so bright,

Guiding my path, my dreams, my light.

I want you to know, with pride I say,

I’m now taking the same path today.

A future teacher, in science I stand,

Following the dream you placed in my hand.

I hope to meet you again someday,

To simply say thanks in my own way.

For showing me joy, for showing you care,

For teaching with a heart that’s always there.

Because of you, I want to teach too,

To inspire students like you did to me, true.

To make learning fun, to make it clear,

To bring out the best in those I hold so dear.

So here’s my thanks, simple and true,

For all the things you taught me to do.

For your patience, your laughter, your way so kind,

You left a mark I’ll always find.

Thank you, Ma’am, for lighting the flame,

For showing me that learning is never the same.

On this Teacher’s Day, I honor you true,

For the dream I now follow was inspired by you.
